Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry F. Cochems

Theodore Roosevelt does not usually write introduction letters for people he does not know but is willing to break this rule for Henry F. Cochems. He can write a letter for Mr. Richards to present to Brand Whitlock. In a postscript, Roosevelt summarizes his view that American citizens should only be Americans and nothing else. Citizens should not be discriminated against because of their birthplace or ancestors. Similarly, foreign policy should be conducted on the basis of American interests, and foreign nations should be judged on their conduct.
