Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to I. K. Russell

Subject(s): American periodicals, Mormons, Press and politics

Theodore Roosevelt is outraged by what I. K. Russell has told him about The World and will write to Dr. Young at once to see what can be done. Roosevelt will also write a letter stating the facts, and he suggests that the association publicly denounce The World. Roosevelt does not think that he can do anything about The Times since they regard him as a “persona non grata.”
