Letter from Secretary of Theodore Roosevelt to Stanley Washburn

Theodore Roosevelt’s secretary acknowledges Stanley Washburn’s letter to Roosevelt. Washburn had enclosed an excerpt from the Alliance Weekly in which Roosevelt was quoted as saying he wished the day would come when a Roman Catholic would become President of the United States. Washburn wished to confirm whether Roosevelt had been quoted correctly. The secretary notes that the article was probably referencing a speech Roosevelt made to the Knights of Columbus in Peoria in 1910, and he encloses a copy of the speech so Washburn can see exactly what Roosevelt said.
