| Title | Theodore Roosevelt Miss Treadwell praising her for her war work |
| Date | 27 August 1916 |
| Author | Roosevelt, Theodore (1858-1919) |
| Recipient | Treadwell |

| Content Description | On his Sagamore Hill letterhead, Roosevelt thanks Treadwell for her letter to him and his wife. Written from, or just after a trip to France during World War I: "your letter brings vividly before my eyes the terrible suffering and high heroism of France, and the joy in service felt by you and the men and women like you. This war has shown that the right type of woman can do her full share of the work of war just as the right kind of man does his." He closes by condemning all pacifists as German collaborationists, and adds, "if I had my way I would disenfranchise all the pacifists of both sexes." |
