Theodore Roosevelt looks forward to seeing Paul Underwood Kellogg and asks that he read an article by the Englishman Jacks in the Yale Review, which comments on an article Roosevelt had sent Kellogg. Roosevelt finds Jacks’ article immoral and refers to Kellogg’s mention of the U.S. Constitution binding the states in unity. Roosevelt chastises Kellogg for not recognizing that “two million men” fought for that unity during the Civil War and that the U.S. is committed to going to war to protect that unity.
