Letter from William H. H. Llewellyn to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from William H. H. Llewellyn to Theodore Roosevelt

William H. H. Llewellyn informs Theodore Roosevelt of the public opinion of the presidential nomination in the New Mexico Territory. William H. Taft did not provide statehood for New Mexico and therefore Llewellyn does not believe he can win the vote. Llewellyn does not believe Roosevelt would accept the nomination, even if he were offered it from both parties and ran unopposed. Llewellyn also sends updates on his job opportunities and of those around him Roosevelt knows.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to men who have volunteered for service in World War I

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to men who have volunteered for service in World War I

Theodore Roosevelt writes to the men who have volunteered for service in the firing lines during World War I to discuss his disappointment at being unable to join them, after President Wilson said Roosevelt could not reform the Rough Riders. Each man who was to be involved in the regiment can now join the military another way or serve his country in civil life. The funds that have been used for the regiment will be withdrawn and applied to another purpose. All four divisions would have sailed by September 1. Roosevelt challenges Wilson’s belief that the regiment would have only had a political impact and not contributed to the success of the war.
