William Loeb has seen that Theodore Roosevelt has been invited to appear before the House Committee. He thinks it would be outrageous if Roosevelt is subpoenaed and is unsure of the propriety of examining an ex-President regarding his official acts. Loeb is opposed to Roosevelt appearing either voluntarily or involuntarily. He believes a principle is at stake for Roosevelt and his successors. The committee could acquire all relevant information from Charles J. Bonaparte and Elihu Root. The letter to Bonaparte that Roosevelt is looking for can be found in the letter press copy book at Sagamore Hill and is likely dated November 5, 1907.
