William Barnes writes to Theodore Roosevelt inviting him and his whole family to stay with him at the O’Conor-Barnes Homestead on Nantucket Island. Barnes promotes the beauty and relaxation of the island, and recounts its history. Barnes appeals to Roosevelt by praising his service, in particular how he handled the Russo-Japanese War, which he claims will go down in history on par with Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation and Alexander II’s freeing of the Russian serfs.
