Letter from William Wingate Sewall to Theodore Roosevelt
William Wingate Sewall writes President Roosevelt hoping to find out when he is sending Kermit Roosevelt to visit Sewall; he also informs Roosevelt that Emlen Roosevelt is sending his youngest son, Philip James Roosevelt. Sewall says that there will be much hunting and fishing available for the boys throughout the summer and fall. Sewall wishes President Roosevelt could also visit, but understands that Roosevelt’s fight with the “corpulent corporations” takes precedence. Sewall is confident that Roosevelt can win though, as he is the only “man on earth today who has the confidence of the people not only of the U.S. but of the entire world.” Sewall also opines that Senator “Tillman ought to be choked” and he “would like the job” if Roosevelt does not wish to do it himself.
