Letter from Donald McDonald Dickinson to George B. Cortelyou

Letter from Donald McDonald Dickinson to George B. Cortelyou

Donald McDonald Dickinson offers his opinion on the prospects for President Roosevelt’s administration and the attacks being made on him. Although popular sentiment is with Roosevelt, the organization is likely to oppose him in strength at the next election, and the time to begin preparing for that fight is now. The Booker T. Washington incident and his speech at Arlington hurt him. If Roosevelt could make some statement this fall about his desire to find a solution for the negro problem, it might assuage those in the South who were offended. Dickinson also urges that Abram S. Hewitt and others with large investment interests be made advisers to the president.

Letter from Donald McDonald Dickinson to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Donald McDonald Dickinson to Theodore Roosevelt

Dickinson writes to President Roosevelt regarding Indian affairs and argues that the Roman Catholic methods of educating the Indians are much superior to other methods in use. Dickinson was a member of President Cleveland’s Cabinet, and he is now “a man without a party,” but supports Roosevelt and is proud to have voted for him. He offers his aid, if such can be of use to the President without an office or reward of any kind.
