Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Robert Harry Munro Ferguson and Isabella Ferguson

Subject(s): Derby, Ethel Roosevelt, Fisheries, Munro Ferguson, Ronald Craufurd, Sir, 1860-1934, Newfoundland and Labrador, Roosevelt, Kermit, 1889-1943

President Roosevelt was pleased to hear that Kermit and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt are enjoying the company of the Fergusons. He gives permission for Ronald Craufurd Munro Ferguson to speak to Whitelaw Reid, perhaps about an appointment in Washington, D.C., as he goes on to say there are some “ticklish things” coming up regarding the Newfoundland fisheries, and it may be important to have “a good man here.”
