Letter from Ida M. Roosevelt to Theodore Roosevelt
Ida M. Roosevelt describes the last wishes of her late husband, George W. Roosevelt, to President Roosevelt. George W. Roosevelt had wished, prior to his untimely death, to resign from his post as United States Consul in Brussels to return to the United States to spend his retirement. In addition, he wished to promote his Vice Consul, Gregory Phelan, to a consulship in South America or elsewhere. Ida M. Roosevelt describes Phelan as devoted and talented, and asks President Roosevelt to act on his behalf.
