President Roosevelt appreciates Philip Battell Stewart’s work to combat corruption in Colorado, but does not feel that he knows enough about the situation to personally write about it. Roosevelt has discussed the matter with Attorney General William H. Moody to see if Roosevelt could write to District Attorney Earl M. Cranston, but has not come up with a way to do so “with advantage.”
