Letter from James Bryce to Theodore Roosevelt
James Bryce thanks Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt for the new volume of The Winning of the West, which he is enjoying reading. He agrees with Roosevelt’s view that much modern American character is “traceable to the frontier life.” Bryce also notes that he and his wife have enjoyed seeing Roosevelt’s sister, notes that the liberal party in England is “having a pretty hard fight” and that politics are dominated by “currency problems.”
