Letter from Thomas Goode Jones to William Loeb

Judge Jones, U.S. District Judge in Alabama, extends thanks to President Roosevelt for permission to use quotes taken from letters from Roosevelt to Jones. Jones’ reputation was under attack due to Alabama politicians’ efforts to publicly discredit him. Jones used quotes in editorials that had “wonderfully good effect” on public opinion.
