William N. Freeman writes to Frank Harper to inform him of his new book, Created Equal: The Romance of Democracy. In this book, Freeman argues that the country was originally designed as a “government by agreement of states,” but became a “government by party.” He credits this evolution to the work of John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Andrew Jackson. Freeman admires Jackson greatly and believes Roosevelt is the only other president of his caliber. Freeman hopes that Theodore Roosevelt will share his opinion on the premise of the book.
