Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Rachel Sherman Thorndike

President Roosevelt agrees with Rachel Sherman Thorndike that “in dealing with the South one must often exercise patience and forbearance to a degree which I should not dream of extending to the North.” If some sons of former Confederate generals made a trip through Indiana and Ohio along the path of a raid that took place during the Civil War, Roosevelt believes no one would pay any attention to them, but the trip of Father Thomas Ewing Sherman, a son of William Tecumseh Sherman, through Georgia is causing an uproar. Roosevelt believes General William Penn Duvall let the information get out in the wrong shape, and that the trouble could have been avoided.
