Theodore Roosevelt writes to James Bronson Reynolds about the Perkins matter, referring to Charles A. Perkins, who ran for New York County District Attorney that year. If Roosevelt were living in the city he would have Reynolds be the “keeper of my conscience in relation to the district attorneyship,” although Roosevelt does not want to be involved in local politics this year.
