Letter from Jacob A. Riis to Theodore Roosevelt

Jacob A. Riis quotes a conversation he had with a fellow countryman, who told him of a time when President Roosevelt was leaving Seattle and had looked down on a crowd made up largely of Scandinavians, and seemed disappointed when they did not give him a sign of recognition. The man believes Roosevelt did not know that Scandinavians are “never demonstrative that way.” Riis also mentions Baron Hermann Speck von Sternburg’s poisoned face wound that will not heal, and recommends that he contact the Finsen Light Institute to seek treatment for it.
