Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Hamlin Garland

The preparedness issue should be handled as Abraham Lincoln fought for the Union and against slavery. Some of Lincoln’s supporters were corrupt or had improper motives but this did not stop Lincoln from “fighting for the right.” If there are ammunition manufacturers supporting a cause that is right, there is no reason to abandon that cause because of their support.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Hamlin Garland

President Roosevelt stands by his economic and trust-busting policies despite the financial panic, believing that such a crisis was inevitable under the American financial system and that his policies mitigated the damage that would have otherwise been done by a panic. Roosevelt also does not care when New York financiers criticize him, as he neither respects nor admires individuals who care about acquiring wealth over any other pursuit.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Hamlin Garland

President Roosevelt is amused with “the way the English took it.” (This is likely referring to the spelling reform which Public Printer Charles A. Stillings aided.) Roosevelt tells novelist Hamlin Garland to visit him in Washington D.C., so they can discuss his opinion on “lynching and several other problems.”
