Letter from Thomas H. Self to Theodore Roosevelt
Thomas H. Self, a local leader and event organizer in Martinsville, Virginia, writes to Theodore Roosevelt regarding the purpose of the Martinsville Athletic Association, Inc., which is an institution meant to contribute to “raising the standard of the citizen.” Self hopes that Roosevelt will consider making a visit, as he would serve as “the inspiration in raising our strong mountain men to a higher plain of civic duty.”
