Letter from A. H. Whitfield to Theodore Roosevelt
Judge Whitfield commends President Roosevelt for his actions since succeeding to the presidency, particularly his treatment of the south and his appointment of former Governor Thomas Goode Jones as District Judge in Alabama. Whitfield suggests that Roosevelt build the Nicaragua canal, select the best men for judicial openings, avoid appointing African Americans in the south, and appoint Democrats to southern positions.
