Letter from Sophia A. Preusch to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Sophia A. Preusch to Theodore Roosevelt

Sophia A. Preusch was inspired to write Theodore Roosevelt because she opened a dictionary at the word “delightful.” She says she saw Roosevelt during his 1910 parade in New York, and supposes he has read about her, describing herself as a troublemaker. She inquires after Oyster Beach, talks about museums, and sends well wishes to Roosevelt’s family.
