Letter from William H. Moody to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Hapgood, Norman, 1868-1937, Jones, Thomas Goode, 1844-1914, Loeb, William, 1866-1937

Attorney General Moody has read the correspondence with Norman Hapgood and returned it to William Loeb. Moody retains the correspondence with Judge Jones so that he may examine Jones’ views critically, as he feels Jones’s interpretation of the 14th Amendment is wrong. Moody hopes President Roosevelt will not commit in his message to legislation which will ultimately be pronounced unconstitutional. Moody also asks Roosevelt when he feels it will be most appropriate to make a public announcement about Moody’s departure from the Cabinet.
