Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry C. Ide

Subject(s): Alcoholism, Curry, George, 1861-1947, Wright, Albert P.

President Roosevelt does not recall reviewing Albert P. Wright’s letters before hearing about them from Governor-General of the Philippines Ide. He finds Ide’s statement on the matter conclusive and thanks him. It disheartens Roosevelt that Wright and other “men whom I knew as excellent soldiers have fallen victims to drunkenness.”
