Letter from William Bayard Cutting to Theodore Roosevelt
William Bayard Cutting thanks President Roosevelt for the gracious reception he received at Sagamore Hill. Cutting expresses interest in applying for an appointment to the diplomatic service or in an administrative department, but has reservations because while he supports Roosevelt’s administration, he does not agree with the entirety of the Republican platform, particularly with regards to the tariff policy. Nevertheless, he says he is taking Roosevelt’s advice to get involved in politics and hopes his opinions will not disqualify him.
