Theodore Roosevelt thanks George Otto Trevelyan for his kind words. Roosevelt does not think of himself as a hero, but rather as a decent American citizen trying to do the right thing. Roosevelt considers what happened to the battalion in Dardanelles to be a “dreadful tragedy.” He is glad Trevelyan liked his article on reading and tells him he recently lunched with his son.
