Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Louis Alexander Mountbatten

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Louis Alexander Mountbatten

Theodore Roosevelt thinks that when World War I goes in history, it will be recognized that Admiral Louis Alexander Mountbatten’s action in connection with the mobilization of the British Fleet was one of two or three critical things which the Allies did that allowed them to neutralize the extraordinary German efficiency. Roosevelt assures Mountbatten that he will receive credit for this. Roosevelt also sends Mountbatten a copy of an article he has written in which he references Mountbatten’s actions.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Sturgis Bigelow

Theodore Roosevelt shares with Dr. William Sturgis Bigelow the “frank disbelief” of Dr. Lyman Abbott over the contents of a letter written by President Charles Eliot of Harvard University. Roosevelt would like a copy of the letter to share with Abbott, who is incredulous that Eliot opposes war preparations by the United States “because the Allies [are] going to win anyhow.” He also requests that Bigelow read the respects to German-Americans that Roosevelt wrote for the next Metropolitan.
