President Roosevelt writes Philip Battell Stewart privately about Herbert J. Hagerman. He did not previously believe that there was anything against Hagerman’s personal honesty, but now thinks that the evidence suggests that he was involved with trying to swindle the government. Roosevelt forwards a letter from Secretary of the Interior James Rudolph Garfield that sets forth some of the case.
