Click on image to zoom in
President Roosevelt thanks Frank Basil Tracy for the nice letter and comments that he takes “just the right view” of the case involving Ben Daniels. Roosevelt confirms that Tracy guessed right and that when Roosevelt asked Daniels if there was anything that might prevent Roosevelt from securing Daniels’s appointment in the Senate as a United States Marshal, Daniels failed to tell Roosevelt about the incident that led to his resignation.
