Hamlin Garland thanks President Roosevelt for his letter, which Garland says impressed him, particularly as it revealed Roosevelt’s attitude toward women. Garland notes that he is in substantial agreement with Roosevelt’s argument regarding the roles of women in the family and men as soldiers, though he prefers to imagine that battleships and soldiers are not necessary.
