Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Garrott Brown
President Roosevelt saw William Garrott Brown’s letter through Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, and thanks Brown for writing. Roosevelt does not mind people being mistaken about him, so long as it is not on purpose and malicious. One reason Roosevelt had felt indignant at first was because he had read and appreciated Brown’s works, and felt that he was the sort of Southerner that he wanted to represent. Roosevelt would like to meet Brown in person, if it is possible for him to come to Washington, D.C.
