Letter from Charles R. Watson to Theodore Roosevelt
Charles R. Watson, writing on behalf of the Board of Foreign Relations of the United Presbyterian Church of North America, has learned that President Roosevelt is contemplating a trip to Africa after leaving the presidency, and invites him to visit any of the mission stations that the Presbyterian Church has established along the Nile River Valley. Watson believes Roosevelt’s visit to any of these stations would be a boon, and would allow him to see in person the sorts of missionary efforts he has previously praised. Accompanying the letter, Watson includes a list of various works that he is sending to Roosevelt under separate cover addressing the mission work in Egypt and the Sudan, a list of the various mission stations that have been established in the region, and a pair of maps illustrating their locations.
