Fragment of a letter from Frances Morris Ward to Corrine Roosevelt Robinson

Subject(s): Roosevelt, Theodore, 1858-1919, Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905)

Frances Morris Ward invites Corrine Roosevelt Robinson to visit her in September. She encloses a copy of a “plea” she has sent to 500 people, and intends to send to all the governors and other leaders. She will not send it to the President “until Russia & Japan are digested and disposed of,” however. She reflects on how proud President Roosevelt has made them, and hopes he always remains strong and unconscious of self.
