Letter from John M. Barnes to Theodore Roosevelt
John M. Barnes informs President Roosevelt that Harry Stillwell Edwards borrowed $400 from him, and despite Barnes’s best efforts, Edwards has still not repaid the full amount. Being a poor man, he cannot afford this loss. Barnes also complains of Judge Emory Speer, who he says has “pursued [him] with such implacable revenge” that no one will hire Barnes in Georgia. He is selling his property in hopes of returning to New York where he once held a good position.
