Letter from Whitelaw Reid to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Whitelaw Reid to Theodore Roosevelt

Whitelaw Reid writes to President Roosevelt to discuss the British and Foreign Bible Society’s Centenary Thanksgiving meeting and requests Roosevelt send him a brief message to be read at the meeting. The society is also seeking a letter from Kaiser Wilhelm II. They believe that if Roosevelt sends a statement and they read the two together, it will reveal the unifying nature of the Bible for “Teutonic peoples.”
