Theodore Roosevelt gives William Daveport Hulbert permission to publish the quoted part of his letter about Jarvis, and is pleased with Hulbert’s evaluation of Hoggatt, the previous governor of Alaska. Roosevelt also offers more context to the incident about enforcing gambling and drinking laws in Alaska, and explains his preference for Hoggatt over the current governor, Walter Eli Clark, due to the latter intentionally misconstruing Roosevelt’s actions and intentions.
