Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to H. Hesketh-Prichard

Theodore Roosevelt and his four sons would like to be in the trenches with British Captain H. Hesketh-Prichard. Roosevelt notes England has fared well in the war, better than Americans would have, although not as well as France has done. Roosevelt is “horrorstruck” by the attitudes of both Welsh miners and rich British men making money off of the war. He also is amazed that the Brits fall behind others in munitions production despite their industrialized economy. Roosevelt advocated mandatory service and has sent his sons all to Plattsburgh for military camp.

Roosevelt believes he has done everything he can to rouse the American people, and he informs Palmer that he has the beginnings of a Division already planned.
