ROOSEVELT REPLY.
At Oyster Bay, June 26. 1900.
Major-General Thomas L. Rosser, Char
iottesviIle, Va:
My Dear General Rosser-F'ew letters
have given me as much pleasure as yours
[ know your record in the army from \ to
Z, and so You can appreciate it means L
good deal to me to have you treat me as
a fellow soldier. By the way, I don't know
that it has ever come to your knowledge
that I am half Southerner myself. My
mother was a Georgian, and OF my two
uncles one was an admiral in the Con-
federate service and the other was mid
shipman who fired the last gun from the
Alabama before she went down.
Probably over half my regiment was
composed of the sons OF Confederates. and
I have never been able to see where our
interests diverged. I challenge the right
South as am of the North, of the East
as I am OF the West, and I believe IN the
Republican party because I am sure it is
really the national party.
The support of i gentleman like your
self means q great deal. and as an Aneri-
can 1 thank you. I hope to see you here
as my guest whenever you come North
Believe me, very faithfully yours.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
