Theodore Roosevelt hopes that R. R. McCormick will fight as strongly as possible for preparedness. He says that McCormick’s dispatches about the English and Russia have “been the strongest kind of missionary work and just what this country needs.” Roosevelt notes that before he mailed the letter, he received an editorial from the Tribune that he was surprised was written be McCormick. Roosevelt says the editorial is “untruthful and absolutely ridiculous.”
