Letter from Charles S. Hamlin to Theodore Roosevelt

Charles S. Hamlin invites President Roosevelt to the annual dinner of the Old Colony Club. Through the club’s efforts, Buzzard Bay is reserved for hand-line fishing only, with sieves being strictly forbidden. As the club stands for “clean, honest sport” and the preservation of fisheries, Hamlin says it would be a great honor to have Roosevelt give a speech on conservation. Hamlin gives Roosevelt many options for traveling to the area with the least trouble.

Charles S. Hamlin argues that the gifts Alice Roosevelt received on her recent trip to the East were given to her as the daughter of the President of the United States, and that she could not have declined them without causing misunderstanding and bad feelings. Thus, Hamlin believes, Congress should use a special act to allow the gifts to be brought into the country without a duty being paid on them.

Letter from Charles S. Hamlin to Theodore Roosevelt

Charles S. Hamlin speaks on behalf of merchants and those in transportation along the border of the United States and Canada who are concerned about the recommendation of Commissioner Powderly to limit the border crossings of Chinese merchants. Such an act would be disastrous to New England merchants, especially for those involved in the cotton trade. Hamlin hopes that President Roosevelt will make no such radical recommendation to Congress.
