Theodore Roosevelt replies to William Davenport Hulbert’s letter, expressing his desire that Hulbert should come east to personally discuss viewpoints on the government’s role in Alaska, particularly in regard to coal fields and railroads there. Roosevelt believes that it has been difficult to develop Alaska due to the type of laws “under which the Guggenheims acquired the Cunningham claims,” but does not want to go against the law.
