Teddy Roosevelt letter about Homer Davenport
Jeanne Craver just shared this short note signed on a White House card by US President Theodore Roosevelt to the US ambassador to Turkey. The note reads:
“June 13 1906.
Dear Mr. Leisheman
Mr. Davenport is an awfully good fellow in every way. I hope that you can make a special effort to help him in his arab horse scheme; and any courtesy you can show him I shall accept as personal.
Sincerely yours T. Roosevelt.”
Credit for the discovery should go to Ambar (Jean Marie Diaz), not me!
