Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to David Decamp Thompson

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to David Decamp Thompson

President Roosevelt sends David Decamp Thompson an autographed copy of his recent message, noting that it was partly plagiarized from a letter between the two men. Roosevelt notes his high opinion of Chicago-based social reformer Mary McDowell, and that he is hoping help her with the bill currently before Congress. The president says he was initially “hot with indignation” that the Storers published his private letters, but later recognized that he “put the proper position of our Government in reference to various religious denominations about as clearly as I well could” and is no longer embarrassed about the matter. Roosevelt asks Thompson and Dr. W. P. Thirkield to come to lunch soon so they can discuss “the Negro question.”
