Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to J. S. Sherman

Subject(s): Letters, Loudenslager, Henry C. (Henry Clay), 1852-1911, McKinley, William Brown, 1856-1926

President Roosevelt informs Representative Sherman that what he and Representative Henry C. Loudenslager propose for Roosevelt to insert is merely a repetition of what he has already written in the first part of the letter. Roosevelt supposes that their true objection is that he has combined two appeals in one letter, and therefore plans to split the letter.
