Theodore Roosevelt has been making money with his writings and offers to send Archibald Roosevelt anything he needs or purchase supplies for Archie’s men. Roosevelt no longer feels in sympathy with the majority of the country. Even among Republicans, there are too many pacifists and “shortsighted reactionary materialists.” Roosevelt thinks he may be too extreme and all he wants to do is continue to work until his family is reunited. He hopes his work can “keep things going” until the end of the war.
