Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Kentarō Kaneko
President Roosevelt thanks Kentarō Kaneko for the books. He especially enjoyed the book about Bushido. Roosevelt believes that Japan has a lot to offer the world and hopes that one day all nations can “live together in peace and friendship,” so that it will be possible to teach and learn from each other. He has learned a great deal from reading about the “fine Samurai spirit” and sees how the concept can be applied to international relations.
