Theodore Roosevelt encloses a letter from someone in “sore straits” and asks William Loeb to look into the matter. Roosevelt has heard that various Congressional committees are investigating his presidential actions relating to Tennessee Coal and Iron, the Sugar Trust, and the Panama affair. He knows there is nothing to investigate but wants to have the facts at hand so no one can accuse him of forgetting a trivial detail. Roosevelt is particularly interested in locating a letter he wrote to Charles J. Bonaparte discussing the Tennessee Coal and Iron matter.
