James Sullivan Clarkson writes to President Roosevelt to send him a report he wrote on the history of the relationship between the Republican Party and the Mormon Church, particularly efforts to persuade the Mormons to give up polygamy in exchange for citizenship rights in the United States. Clarkson expresses his hope that the information will help with Roosevelt’s visit with Judge George W. Bartch and asks Roosevelt to keep the information private since he is writing a book on Mormon history.
