Letter from Electus D. Litchfield to Theodore Roosevelt
Electus D. Litchfield follows up previous correspondence between his mother and President Roosevelt regarding the conduct of his great-grandfather, William S. Cox, during the War of 1812 and includes material for Roosevelt to review. Cox is unfavorably mentioned in Roosevelt’s book The Naval War of 1812 and Litchfield hopes this can be revised in subsequent editions.
