Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to J. J. Jusserand
President Roosevelt discusses the various busts of George Washington, and in particular praises the one by Jean Antoine Houdon. He tells French Ambassador Jusserand that a gift like the one from France makes him appreciate why everyone turns to the French to teach them “how to do those things which need in the doing the perfection of good taste.”
