Letter from Thomas B. Reed to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Thomas B. Reed to Theodore Roosevelt

“I will be as good as I can,” Congressman Reed states, presumably in response to a prior remark from Commissioner Roosevelt, though he feels it will be a loss to the world should he suppress his views. Reed contemplates howling at the constellations in frustration and jokingly threatens to head to the North Pole. He closes with a drawing of a thermometer with the initials “B.H.” (for President Benjamin Harrison) at the base, far below 0 degrees.
