Similarities

Both letters use the opening greeting “Dear.” Roosevelt says, “Dear Ted,” and Burns writes, “My Dear E.”

Differences

Roosevelt used simple and informal language, probably because he was writing to a child. Burns’s letter contains several difficult words, such as peremptory and dissimulation.

Since Roosevelt was writing to his son, he had no reason to hide names. However, Burns’s letter was a private piece of correspondence. That may be why he mentions neither his own nor Ellison’s name in the letter. He refers to her simply as “E.”
