Paul Morton shares with President Roosevelt a quote from Henry Ward Beecher stating that no American president has ever been liked or been “good for anything” during his time in office. Beecher then shows how every president from George Washington to Ulysses S. Grant was regarded while in office. Morton thought Roosevelt would find this amusing.
