Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Paul Morton

Subject(s): Bills, Legislative, Letters

President Roosevelt informs Paul Morton that along with his own message he has sent in Drake’s report and Brandeis’s letter, and has also included Morton’s recommendations from the concluding paragraphs in his letter to Roosevelt. If Roosevelt feels the need, he will discreetly make Morton’s entire letter known so that it may help the bill get passed in the winter.
