Thomas E. Fraser requests clarification from Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt on where his regiment is to be drawn from. (Roosevelt’s original letter to Fraser had unintended bleed-through from another letter, with conflicting statements about where the men were going to be drawn from. Roosevelt told Fraser they should come from the West, but told John J. Fox Jr., that some would come from “Harvard and elsewhere.” Fraser underlines this portion and includes the notation “not west.”)

Theodore Roosevelt, then a state assemblyman in New York, advocates killing a bill that would have the effect of gagging the press. He says in part, “I think it is a great deal better to err a little bit on the side of having too…virulent language used by the press, rather than to err on the side of having them not say what they ought to say, especially with reference to public men and measures.”
