Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward asks permission of President Roosevelt to share a previous letter of his with the Governor-Elect of Massachusetts, Curtis Guild. While she has thus far followed Roosevelt’s wish to keep the letter private, Ward would like to impress some slight political pressure for the anti-vivisection movement, to ensure that the movement gets fair treatment.
