Letter from Henry G. Thomas to Theodore Roosevelt
Henry G. Thomas asks President Roosevelt for a contribution to be deposited with other “articles which will be of interest to future generations” in the cornerstone of a soldier’s memorial currently under construction (Stowe, VT). The monument appears to honor soldiers from the American Civil War and Roosevelt is promised that any articles he deposits will not be read for many years to come.
