Letter from H. D. Minot to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from H. D. Minot to Theodore Roosevelt

After great hesitation, and because of their long friendship, H. D. Minot writes to express his displeasure at Theodore Roosevelt’s recent behavior. At Harvard, Roosevelt did not admire drunken or debauched antics, so Minot was very much alarmed to observe Roosevelt “talk shameful grossness before a woman… and muddled nonsense about fighting sensible Charlie Ware with dueling pistols.” Minot is sorry to speak so severely to Roosevelt but does so as a testimony of sincere friendship.
