Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Charles McCormick

Subject(s): Letters, Political parties--Officials and employees, Republican National Convention

The reason a previous letter was marked “private” was because the matter was finished, most likely referring to the controversy over delegates at the Republic National Convention. Theodore Roosevelt states that it is not possible to grant permission to print the letter, as it was intended for Charles McCormick’s personal information.
