Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Archibald B. Roosevelt

He trusts Archie and Ted to decide whether to serve in the same regiment. Colonel Roosevelt expresses his pride in what he hears of Archie, and reflects on his own military service in Cuba, noting that he was “better than any colonel save one in the regulars before Santiago.” He closes by lamenting the lack of preparedness of the American military, which he attributes to the “criminal misconduct” of President Woodrow Wilson.
