Letter from Douglas Robinson to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Douglas Robinson to Theodore Roosevelt

Douglas Robinson encloses a $12 check to cover his sons’ expenses on the trip they took with Vice President Roosevelt. The boys enjoyed the trip and Robinson argues in favor of Roosevelt accepting the money. The attempted assassination of President McKinley was a “frightful shock.” The reports of McKinley’s health are encouraging and, should the worst happen, there is a strong man for the country to rely upon.
