Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Arthur Mez
Theodore Roosevelt was touched by the letter of Captain Mez and will keep it confidential. Roosevelt is “grieved” over the war and understands that each nation, from their standpoint, is in the right. However, he sees no defense for Germany’s “dreadful” actions toward Belgium. Roosevelt fears that the warring nations will emerge from the war disliking the United States and he hopes the country will prepare for war.
