President Roosevelt praises George Otto Trevelyan for writing “the final history” of the American Revolution, and he wishes that other notable historians had written works about famous episodes in world history. Roosevelt gives his thoughts about some of the commanders on both sides of the Revolutionary War, and he employs his version of simplified spelling in the letter.
