Theodore Roosevelt responds to Miss Stevenson’s letter by defending his stance on religion. Stevenson expects Roosevelt to disparage Catholicism because Pope Pius X prevented him from meeting with the Methodist church in Rome. In the second part of the letter, Roosevelt does not approve of the suffrage movement, and he has “nothing but contemptuous dislike with many of the so-called leaders of the suffrage movement.”
