Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Edward G. Riggs
Theodore Roosevelt explains to Edward G. Riggs that he is the “heartiest kind of an advocate of the merchant marine,” but he believes that for the seamen to be well treated, the American merchant ship must be in condition, as well. For the ships to be maintained adequately, it requires making it possible for them to run profitably. Roosevelt is glad Riggs liked his speech, and he looks forward to reading the enclosures.
