Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Whitelaw Reid
The political cartoon Ambassador Reid sent greatly amuses President Roosevelt. He inquires if he can obtain the original, in addition to other Punch cartoons, including one depicting him and Emperor William II, which was banned in Berlin. Unsurprisingly, people have responded negatively to the financial crisis. Roosevelt remembers a similar reaction during the Spanish-American War. He has a better understanding of what Abraham Lincoln faced and what future presidents will experience in the case of a great national crisis.
