Subject(s): Bryan, William Jennings, 1860-1925, Daniels, Josephus, 1862-1948, Wilson, Woodrow, 1856-1924

Theodore Roosevelt read Mr. Cook’s letter and believes it is important. However, he is unsure how to use the letter and suggests the letter be published. President Wilson deserves to be denounced for appointing William Jennings Bryan as Secretary of State and Secretary Daniels as Secretary of the Navy.
