Letter from Frederick W. Whitridge to Theodore Roosevelt
Railroad president Frederick W. Whitridge, who was appointed special ambassador to Spain for King Alfonso XIII’s wedding, writes to President Roosevelt about the festivities. He notes how the young men in the American group behaved themselves well, and how the Americans hesitatingly wore the insignia they were given to wear at the ceremony so as not to offend their hosts’ hospitality. Whitridge also includes the text of his short speech to King Alfonso, expressing the admiration and affection of the American people and specifically Roosevelt.
