Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to J. William White

Theodore Roosevelt agrees with Dr. White that the United States unfortunately supports President Woodrow Wilson’s policy towards the war in Europe. Roosevelt sees German submarine warfare, which he considers the “assassination of women and children,” as failing, but believes the Germans have a secret agreement with President Wilson to harass the British and French with pretend concessions. Roosevelt encourages White to read his upcoming article in Metropolitan Magazine. Roosevelt notes that his sons and son-in-law hope to get into the war, but he doubts that America will join. Roosevelt invites the Whites to visit after he returns from visiting the north woods with Alexander Lambert.
