Faithfully yours
In his “Faithfully yours” column, William N. Tilchin introduces and reprints a letter from President Theodore Roosevelt to the French writer Frederic Mistral. In the December 15, 1904, letter, Roosevelt asserts that while the accumulation of wealth and industrial power is important to a nation, attention should also be given to “the things of the spirit.” Roosevelt believes that virtues like courage, love, and appreciation for beauty must also be cultivated by a people.
