Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to David Livingston Roscoe
Theodore Roosevelt advises Lieutenant David Livingston Roscoe that it is not possible for him to enlist now, because no one knows when the war will occur. Roosevelt points out that Roscoe should not worry about not being a graduate of West Point as many of the best officers he knew, like Colonel Gordon Johnstone, were not graduates of West Point, either.
