John V. Ellard seeks to ascertain if Theodore Roosevelt actually stated that Garnet Wolseley’s monograph on Robert E. Lee was “an insult to Gen. Lee.” Ellard takes a forgiving stance and states perhaps he missed something in his reading of the work; however, he hopes to aid in campaigning for Roosevelt in Missouri again and asks if he can continue to write him.
