Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to J. J. Jusserand
Theodore Roosevelt is much obliged to French Ambassador Jusserand for his two letters, the first one of which he has sent to John Reed. Roosevelt is familiar with Joseph Bédier’s “striking” pamphlet, and he is glad that Jusserand liked his recent article in Metropolitan. Roosevelt is not pleased about Senator Beveridge’s letters from Germany. As to what Jusserand said about Uncle Sam having no friends, Roosevelt does not believe that Uncle Sam is entitled to have friends “so long as his government representatives carry neutrality to the point of being neutral between right and wrong.”

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Cecil Spring Rice
Theodore Roosevelt believes the allies will win the war and that Great Britain and France will greatly benefit. The manhood of these nations has shown “ugly traits” and “should be tried and purged.” He is unsure if victory will bring justice to Belgium or allow the people of middle and southeastern Europe to develop as they should. Ambassador Spring Rice and Ambassador Jusserand are performing a great service to their country when it is most needed. The are standing for their nations, humanity, and mankind. Roosevelt invites Spring Rice and his wife to Oyster Bay, New York, and wants to tell them about his grandchildren. He recently received a sad letter from Winthrop Chanler reminiscing on the old times when they had youth and its “unconquerable spirit.”
