Letter from W. Sloan Simpson to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): American Occupation of Cuba (1906-1909), Public opinion

W. Sloan Simpson considers his recent trip to Cuba to be “very unsuccessful” on account of the inefficiency of the leaders of the Department of the Treasury. He talked to many Americans, Britons, Canadians, and Cubans to try to understand the opinions of the people there, should President Roosevelt be interested. Simpson will be in Washington, D.C., soon and hopes to go riding with Roosevelt.
