Theodore Roosevelt writes that he received his sister’s new book of poems and praises her ability to put into words the inarticulate feelings of life and inspire others to live up to high ideals. He mentions the hard work those around him have put into his campaign and cites it as one of the reasons he was reluctant to run for president.
