President Roosevelt has received Attorney General Bonaparte’s letter and invites him to visit in Oyster Bay, New York, when convenient. While Roosevelt had hoped to “avoid the muss” regarding the case of Ulysses S. Bratton, Assistant United States Attorney for Arkansas, he agrees with Bonaparte on the matter. Roosevelt will discuss the Connecticut judgeship with Bonaparte at a later time.
