James Bronson Reynolds tells Theodore Roosevelt he received Roosevelt’s note from Helen Suydam Cutting Wilmerding. The case she is interested is in a different county, but Reynolds wrote with advice and suggestions regarding proper procedure under the circumstances. Reynolds is now in charge of the Complaint Bureau of the New York District Attorney’s Office determining the question of prosecution for all cases, though he tries to prevent criminal proceedings whenever possible.
