Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Ralph M. Easley

Subject(s): Beeks, Gertrude, 1867-, Goethals, George W. (George Washington), 1858-1928

President Roosevelt tells Ralph M. Easley of the National Civic Federation that he is impressed with sociologist Gertrude Beeks’ Panama report. Before publishing it, however, Roosevelt strongly recommends removing any unsubstantiated claims of bribery. He asks Easley how he can best provide assistance and suggests sending the report to Colonel George W. Goethals, Chairman of the Isthmian Canal Commission, to review.
