Louisa Lee Schuyler thanks President Roosevelt for the letter he wrote for the recent anti-tuberculosis meeting, and tells him some of the details of the proceedings. She praises Roosevelt for his efforts to root out corruption, and compares him to President Washington and President Lincoln as one of the great leaders in American history. She quotes the bible verse Ephesians 6:12-14, which she says has been coming to mind throughout Roosevelt’s presidency, exhorting him to stand against the darkness of the world and put on the armor of God.
