Theodore Roosevelt has finally received Judge Baldwin’s recent letter, and states that his own earlier letter to Baldwin was based on what he knew of the letter from it’s appearance in the press. Roosevelt also received a copy of Baldwin’s decision in the case of William H. Hoxie, who was injured while working at his railroad job, and illustrates the case which Roosevelt was thinking of and which he feels is retrogressive, and in no way progressive. Roosevelt thoroughly comments upon the case and the way in which he feels it is a miscarriage of justice.
