Theodore Roosevelt writes George W. Wickersham that he looked over papers from the District Attorney’s office, which contain letters and a Senate document. Roosevelt asks Wickersham’s permission to have a clerk review the file for the letter from Edwin T. Earl to Roosevelt wherein Tobias appeals “as one Harvard man to another Harvard man” for Roosevelt’s aid. Roosevelt discusses why no proceeding was brought during his administration. Roosevelt writes that Henry L. Stimson is his neighbor and invites the Wickershams to lunch when next they visit the Stimsons or New York.
