Theodore Roosevelt is interested in James U. Sweeney’s letter, but does not want to go to the State Department, and asks that Sweeney send him the most important letters about the case he mentioned. Roosevelt does not care whether the correspondence was with the present or proceeding administration. He also asks for more information, with names, about American citizens killed or wounded in Naco.
