Theodore Roosevelt thanks Frédéric Mistral for sending him and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt a copy of his book and a medal. Roosevelt goes on to wish Mistral success and praises him for the lessons found in his writings. Roosevelt writes of the limitations of material happiness and the need to also take into account the “nation’s soul.” This item is included as a different draft of the original December 15, 1904, letter, because of the quote it contains at the bottom of the page.
