Judge Morris writes to Theodore Roosevelt regarding the appointment of his successor to the District of Columbia Court of Appeals. Morris also challenges “imputations” that the New York Tribune make about his honor and integrity. He remains silent about these attacks against his character. He does not believe that Louis McComas is the correct successor for the court of appeals.
