Because he had been invited to subscribe to shares in a mining company by Dr. Matt R. Root, Charles G. Rumery asks President Roosevelt to confirm whether Root had been a member of the Rough Riders. (Although Root had been a member of the 2nd U.S. Volunteer Cavalry, which was occasionally referred to as “Torrey’s Rough Riders,” he was not part of the Rough Rider regiment commanded by Roosevelt.)
