Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to George Kruck Cherrie

Theodore Roosevelt encloses a letter which George Kruck Cherrie has requested, in order to share it with Henry Marcus Leipziger. Roosevelt questions whether the letter will impress Leipziger, since the latter has a German name and many Germans feel bitter toward Roosevelt, but he leaves it to Cherrie’s judgment whether to use the letter or not. Roosevelt’s secretary, John W. McGrath, has also suggested Roosevelt include a letter to Thomas W. Churchill, president of the New York City Board of Education.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to George Kruck Cherrie

Theodore Roosevelt informs George Cherrie that he had noticed all Cherrie’s work in Vermont. Roosevelt thinks the American people are disgusted with the Wilson administration and see voting for the Republican Party as the best way to punish them. Americans also appear to be sick of reform and of Roosevelt, in particular. Roosevelt thinks that the people will come around to the principles of reform in time, but not to him.
