Click on image to zoom in
President Roosevelt sends Senator Scott a newspaper clipping he is concerned about, and asks Senator Scott to preserve the clipping and return it to him after he has read it. Roosevelt believes that the article shows that the person referenced does not demonstrate “the kind of dignity to be expected in a man fitted to occupy a judicial position.”
