As a descendent of French Huegonots, Edith Roosevelt reads contemporary French works and was so impressed by Paul Sabatier’s letter to Professor Vittorio Falcinelli, she shared it with her husband. Theodore Roosevelt tells Sabatier he also agrees with him, and he strongly believes in righteousness before peace, for those who emphasize pacifism over righteousness are fools.
