Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Paul Morton

Subject(s): Kohlsaat, Herman Henry, 1853-1924, Letters

President Roosevelt includes for Paul Morton the text of a letter he wrote to Herman Henry Kohlsaat, in which he states that while he agrees with Kohlsaat about “the religious freedom business,” he wants it to be understood that he is not against unions or corporations, but rather against the abuses of them. Roosevelt will make the appeal to young men that Morton suggests in his letter.
