Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to James T. Terry
President Roosevelt wishes that he could be present at the anniversary dinner of Troop A of the New York Volunteer Cavalry, but unfortunately cannot. Regardless, he sends his greeting and good will through James T. Terry, and praises the actions of Troop A for their service in Puerto Rico during the Spanish American War. If the United States ever gets into a war again, Roosevelt would like to raise another brigade or division of cavalry, and would try to get the men of Troop A under his command.
