Letter from Rodman Paul Snelling to Theodore Roosevelt
According to Ellison A. Smyth, a friend of Rodman Paul Snelling, when President Roosevelt was visiting Charleston, South Carolina, he gave assurances that he would not appoint a person of color to an influential position in the area. Snelling knows Smyth is mistaken and has attempted to correct his friend. He would appreciate an unofficial statement from Roosevelt that would help correct this misunderstanding.
