Letter from Thomas J. Dolan to Theodore Roosevelt
Thomas J. Dolan thanks Theodore Roosevelt for his offer to write to Illinois Governor Charles Samuel Deneen about Edward McCann. He forwards letters from several men involved in labor movements which he says will convey the general feeling of the movement towards “this atrocious proceeding against McCann.” Roosevelt can either write directly to Deneen about the matter, or send Dolan the letter to pass along to the correct people.

Letter from Thomas J. Dolan to Theodore Roosevelt
Returning from a recent trip, Thomas J. Dolan informs President Roosevelt that while he heard “a certain class of people” criticize Roosevelt, the average citizen still fully supports him. Despite an increase in business, the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad company laid off 300 travel agents within the last three days, as have other companies. Dolan believes the reason is to cause public discontent with Roosevelt’s administration. As he considers Roosevelt a friend, Dolan does not want to see him blamed for matters he does not control.
