Barrett Wendell has received President Roosevelt’s two letters in Geneva, where Wendell is spending a few days between his lecture in Paris and those in the provinces of France. Wendell appreciates Roosevelt’s approval of his article. Wendell also wants Roosevelt to know how much he admires him and how Roosevelt’s career has strengthened the ideals of the United States. It is those ideals that Wendell has been trying to “set forth” in France. Wendell says the countries abroad believe the United States to be a new, materialistic country, and he hopes to show why that is not true. Wendell will not be home again until the new term starts at Harvard in the fall.
