Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Sturgis Bigelow
Theodore Roosevelt shares with Dr. William Sturgis Bigelow the “frank disbelief” of Dr. Lyman Abbott over the contents of a letter written by President Charles Eliot of Harvard University. Roosevelt would like a copy of the letter to share with Abbott, who is incredulous that Eliot opposes war preparations by the United States “because the Allies [are] going to win anyhow.” He also requests that Bigelow read the respects to German-Americans that Roosevelt wrote for the next Metropolitan.
