Speech – September 5, 1917 – Columbia County Fair

Typed draft with handwritten edits of Theodore Roosevelt’s speech at the Columbia County Fair. Roosevelt says that while America is a melting pot of many cultures, it is still a single country. He calls for all citizens to be united under one flag and one language. He condemns Germany’s actions during the war and says anyone that does not fully support the United States is a traitor. Americans have an obligation to be loyal to their country and to demand justice for all men regardless of social class. The country needs to be better prepared for war in the future.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Ethel Roosevelt Derby

Theodore Roosevelt was pleased to hear about Surgeon-Lieutenant Derby. He hopes his daughter approves of his comments on the sinking of the RMS Lusitania, as he finds it difficult to restrain himself regarding President Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan. In the libel suit, the judge has struck most of Roosevelt’s important evidence. He does not understand “so wicked a ruling” and cannot see a way to win. He is looking forward to seeing Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt soon.
