Theodore Roosevelt instructs Charles C. Bull to meet with Colonel George W. Goethals about the railway matter and to use this letter as an introduction. He agrees with Bull about his nomination in 1912 and has told his “friends” that there is not to be any movement toward nominating him. Roosevelt does not know what to say about the Porto Bello matter, especially as it relates to getting support for the Panama Canal fortifications. The issues of the “White Slave traffic” and prostitution seem nearly insoluble.
