Letter from Brander Matthews to Theodore Roosevelt

Brander Matthews hopes President Roosevelt will read his paper “Reform and Reformers” in today’s North American Review. He wrote it using his memory of things Roosevelt had said. Regarding simplified spelling, Matthews thinks that “as long as the foreign voter can’t read he is the prey of the henchmen.” If it is easier for men to read they will think for themselves more. He is glad that “Kwig” (perhaps Lemuel Ely Quigg) is down and out.
