John St. Loe Strachey writes to President Roosevelt to express his enjoyment of Roosevelt’s letter and their shared appreciation of Whig sentiment, moderation and “the happy mean.” He goes on to detail his break with his party over free trade and to express his great hope that Roosevelt will win the election and “give the American people the impulse towards the higher nationhood which she and we, and indeed, all nations want.”
