Letter from William Dudley Foulke to Theodore Roosevelt
William Dudley Foulke approves of President Roosevelt’s handling of the Falconio matter. He was surprised that Roosevelt found the time to read his work “Life of Morton” and write him a letter about it. Foulke feels that even during Reconstruction, Morton was correct, and comments on the question of suffrage for African Americans, saying that even though the fifteenth amendment does not seem particularly effective at present, future generations may be able to figure out a solution. Foulke says that if he could choose one person of which to write a biography, he would choose Roosevelt, but he guesses that Roosevelt will outlive him.
