Letter from Herschel V. Jones to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Cuba, Minnesota, Morris, Robert Page Waller, 1853-1924, Tawney, James A. (James Albertus), 1855-1919

Herschel V. Jones reassures President Roosevelt that his position on Cuba is endorsed in Minnesota. He believes that Tawney and Morris are misrepresenting the sentiment and interests of the state. He acknowledges Roosevelt’s independence on the merger and sometime in the future he will suggest how the public warning could have been given without causing a disturbance.
