Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Seth Low

Subject(s): Books and reading, Fusion, Latrobe, Benjamin Henry, 1764-1820, Periodicals, Railroads--Political aspects

President Roosevelt looks forward to receiving The Journal of Latrobe. He liked Seth Low’s article on national control of interstate railways. Roosevelt is glad he does not have to take a stand on fusion, even though Low presents a strong case. However, Roosevelt will inevitably have to look into the matter, a prospect that makes him melancholic.
