Attorney General Bonaparte’s letter provides President Roosevelt with a new impression of the matter that Mr. Brooker referred to in his letter, and Roosevelt says that if Bonaparte has carefully investigated the case he should go ahead with the conclusion he came to. Roosevelt directs Bonaparte to communicate with Frank H. Hitchcock if there is any politician involved in a matter related to J. Ellen Foster. He also agrees with what Bonaparte says related to a letter from Henry L. Stimson, as well as his opinion related to negotiations with Senator Jonathan Bourne in the Standard Oil matter.
