Roosevelt, Theodore (1858-1919)
Autograph letter signed
Title: to Harvey
Discusses using President Wilson's quote of 1 January in a newspaper article. Criticizes Wilson's prosecution of the war in Europe. Says that Wilson can speed up the war and come "to the left of our allies before it is too late, by just one emotion-fear; and it is only popular opinion which can in this particular crisis cause him fear." Writes that this will only work if the public holds Wilson responsible for the past, and ultimately, the future. Written on Sagamore Hill letterhead.
