Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to James Bryce

Theodore Roosevelt has received the first two volumes of Ambassador Bryce’s “classic” work. He remembers reading the proofs of the first edition thirty years ago while in the state legislature. Roosevelt agrees with Bryce that things are better than they were then. Roosevelt invites the ambassador and his wife to the White House so they can discuss the conditions of their countries the next time Bryce visits New York.
