Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry Ford

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry Ford

Theodore Roosevelt thanks Henry Ford for an invitation to visit his company in Detroit. Roosevelt also compliments Ford on his business success. Before accepting his invitation to visit, Roosevelt wants to make sure Ford understands that the two of them hold vastly different views on pacifism; Roosevelt mentions here that he also opposes the views of “my friend, Miss Addams.” Roosevelt urges Ford to use his influence to support righteousness, through which peace will come, rather than peace that will not bring righteousness.

Letter from Richard R. Sibson to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Richard R. Sibson to Theodore Roosevelt

Richard R. Sibson would like to bring to the attention of Theodore Roosevelt his ideas on pensions for men who work for corporations doing interstate business, such as coal miners, railroad workers, and public works employees. Sibson proposes these men should be given $10 a month after they have worked over 20 years and are of at least 60 years of age. Sibson inquires Roosevelt’s help because he does not have a vast knowledge of constitutional law.
