Col. Theodore Roosevelt,
|
||
|
|
Oyster Bay, N. Y.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
My dear Col. Roosevelt:—
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You have received a formal invitation from
|
||
|
|
Mount Pleasant Academy to attend its One Hundredth Anniversary.
|
||
|
|
I have been looking forward to this event hoping that you
|
||
|
|
could be present with us on that occasion.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You will remember, possibly, that in 1903 while
|
||
|
|
Governor, you reviewed our cadets and addressed them, together
|
||
|
|
with the townspeople, from old Junior Hall. All our patrons
|
||
|
|
and alumni have hoped that you might be here. Of course, I
|
||
|
|
understand that your engagement abroad must of necessity have
|
||
|
|
precedence over anything else. We should be glad, however, if
|
||
|
|
we could have an expression of good will from you for this
|
||
|
|
occasion.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Not many schools have reached the hundredth
|
||
|
|
year mark and we feel that Mount Pleasant Academy has earned
|
||
|
|
a right to honor and consideration.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We are all glad to welcome you back to this
|
||
|
|
country where your services and your personality are both
|
||
|
|
sincerely appreciated.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With best wishes for a pleasant and successful
|
||
|
|
voyage, I am
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Yours very truly,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
