Letter from Paul-Henri-Benjamin Balluet, baron d’Estournelles de Constant to Theodore Roosevelt

French Senator Estournelles de Constant remarks that President Roosevelt and America’s youth and confidence “will have made amends for the old age and the skepticism of Europe.” The Baron believes that Europe created America and that America will recreate Europe in return. He feels that Roosevelt will “contribute to this harmony” between ignorance and egotism. The Baron thanks Roosevelt for the invitation to the White House. He wishes he could have received Alice Roosevelt Longworth and Nicholas Longworth when they were in Paris.
