Letter from Thomas Walton Galloway to Theodore Roosevelt
Thomas Walton Galloway conveys to Theodore Roosevelt Abbott Lyman’s praise on Galloway’s manuscript, “The Religion of an Evolutionist.” As a biologist who is largely unknown in the world of philosophical and religious literature, Galloway requests Roosevelt’s assistance in publishing the text. Galloway feels that Roosevelt would be a good fit for helping him, both for his previous experience with the subject matter and for their shared tutelage under Dr. E, L. Mark at Harvard. Should Roosevelt be interested in the pamphlets and comments enclosed in this letter, Galloway requests that Roosevelt write a preface to his book.
