Letter from James Andrew Drain to Theodore Roosevelt

James Andrew Drain believes that Colonel Gerard overstepped in his evaluation of Mr. Bloom’s commission application. Gerard did not find Bloom suitable as an officer but then went on to state that he has found Jews “not well received socially.” Drain agrees that Jewish Americans can be good American citizens and should be treated equally. However, he also states that Jews are not “desirable social companions.” Drain hopes to meet with Theodore Roosevelt for lunch soon.
