Letter from William H. Jackson to Theodore Roosevelt
Representative Jackson brings to President Roosevelt’s attention the call for Assistant Treasurer Abraham Lincoln Dryden’s resignation. Jackson explains that they are making “every possible effort” in the 1st Maryland Congressional District to ensure a Republican candidate will be elected and Dryden’s resignation complicates their chances of success. Jackson asks that when Roosevelt returns to Washington, DC with Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw and Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte that they reconsider the resignation request and revoke it. Jackson believes that his efforts to get the district “in the Republican column” entitles them “every possible aid and sympathy from the government.”
