Letter from John V. Ellard to Theodore Roosevelt
John V. Ellard seeks to ascertain if Theodore Roosevelt actually stated that Garnet Wolseley’s monograph on Robert E. Lee was “an insult to Gen. Lee.” Ellard takes a forgiving stance and states perhaps he missed something in his reading of the work; however, he hopes to aid in campaigning for Roosevelt in Missouri again and asks if he can continue to write him.
