Letter from John W. Simpson to Theodore Roosevelt
John W. Simpson recommends Frederick W. Whitridge for a diplomatic position in Germany or Italy. Simpson recommends Whitridge based on his good social and cultural skills, his familiarity with Europe, and the ease with which he communicates and negotiates with others. Whitridge would “support the position with dignity” and already has contacts with Germans and Italians.
