Letter from Jacob Gould Schurman to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Conduct of court proceedings, Philippines, Presidents--Public opinion, Trusts, Industrial

Jacob Gould Schurman and his family have settled in their summer home but he is at President Roosevelt’s disposal as needed. The approval of Roosevelt in the area has not diminished, and the public’s faith in Roosevelt in regards to the trusts and the Philippines is well placed. Schurman goes on to say that while Roosevelt has made mistakes as President, his record is impressive and well appreciated by the nation.
