Letter from Caspar Whitney to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Caspar Whitney to Theodore Roosevelt

Caspar Whitney informs President Roosevelt that he had received four letters where people had made fun of him for taking up “cudgels for Roosevelt” although Whitney was not included in the roll of honor in the September issue of Everybody’s magazine. Whitney tells Roosevelt that his “interest in life is not to be reckoned on rolls of honor,” but the letters have made him wonder if the absence of his name from the rolls meant more than he originally thought. Whitney would like to know where he stands with the president.
