Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to George Joseph Scharschug

Subject(s): Lane, Franklin K., Newell, Frederick Haynes, 1862-1932, Politicians, Reputation

While Theodore Roosevelt would be happy to see the report George Joseph Scharschug mentions, he wants to make it clear that he supports Frederick Haynes Newell, of whom he has the highest opinion. Roosevelt has stood by Franklin K. Lane but will need very strong proof to convince him Newell was not a good public servant.
