Letter from Raffaele De Pierro to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Raffaele De Pierro to Theodore Roosevelt

Raffaele De Pierro writes to Theodore Roosevelt about a recent interview Roosevelt had with Peppino Garibaldi. While some Italian Catholic priests have sought to use this interview to present the view that all of them are good, De Pierro, as a pastor of Italian Protestants, provides some examples of priests working for their own benefit and not necessarily that of their communities.

Letter from Alexander Konta to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Alexander Konta to Theodore Roosevelt

Alexander Konta writes of the “scantiness, unreliability and confusion of the records of the past” and modern technologies being used for commercial rather than historical value. He proposes the Modern Historic Records Association be created in an effort to combine efforts at the local, state, and national level to preserve the historic record, including the voices of men of importance. He hopes that Theodore Roosevelt might look kindly on this idea and will consider joining in the planning of such an undertaking.

The surrounding vignettes show Alfred Hertz as a young man and as the current conductor, Enrico Caruso, “Italy’s Standing Army,” which is a group of men dressed for the theater, possibly critics, actors with props, and a prima donna too large to “fit the chairs of the period.”
