Henry Hildebrant, writing from Houston, Texas, sends Theodore Roosevelt a letter from a local judge “showing the rebel venom of the representative class of the people of this town.” Having served in the Union Army in the Civil War, Hildebrant says that his “spirit rebels at their traitorous language,” and hopes to be able to return to his home in Ohio soon.
