Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Julian Street
It appears that President Wilson is drifting into war with Mexico without any preparations. Theodore Roosevelt hopes to raise a division and will stop being a critic once in uniform. Roosevelt wants to serve and be a public example of service even if the division is used to further the political goals of Wilson and the Democratic Party. Sending the National Guard to the border was a mistake that allowed the “hardships of war” without the “benefits of efficient war.” Many families are suffering as their men patrol the border.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Julian Street
Theodore Roosevelt does not understand how Julian Street can criticize Senator Eugene Hale so vehemently without also criticizing President Woodrow Wilson and his administration, who are refusing to prepare the country’s military and people for war. Members of the military who advocate for preparedness and attempt to prepare do so against the feeling of the President and may arouse his hostility against them. Roosevelt likens the present conditions to those under Presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, but he believes the current peace-at-any-price sentiment is worse.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Julian Street
Theodore Roosevelt approves of Julian Street’s article and agrees that the nation’s shortcomings need to be brought to the attention of the public. Roosevelt believes that George Washington, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, and Ulysses S. Grant had the correct policy regarding American duty in foreign affairs. Thomas Jefferson, James Buchanan, and President Wilson have the wrong position.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Julian Street
Theodore Roosevelt informs Julian Street that he does not think it is worth the effort to try to “break up the solid south,” which he will explain more when they see each other. He believes Charles Evans Hughes will be selected as the Republican nominee for president.
