Letter from Sydney Brooks to Theodore Roosevelt

Sydney Brooks reflects on when he first met President Roosevelt twelve or thirteen years ago, and discusses how he has closely followed Roosevelt’s inspiring career. Brooks is glad to hear that Roosevelt has no objection to Brooks writing a book about him. Brooks asks if it is possible for him to gain access to the official documents of his presidency, as he wants to make his book as accurate as possible. Whenever Brooks reads American press that is against British rule in India, he counters it with quotations from Roosevelt’s speech.
