Louisa Lee Schuyler was deeply touched by President Roosevelt’s tribute to her recently deceased brother, Philip Schuyler, in the midst of Roosevelt’s busy public schedule. Schuyler says that her brother’s death was a blow; it would have been no surprise if he had died while serving in the Army of the Potomac during the Civil War, but he lived to serve his country for many more years.
