Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Francis Marion Cockrell

President Roosevelt praises Missouri Senator Cockrell as a public servant and offers him a position on either the Isthmian Canal Commission or the Interstate Commerce Commission. The president asks Cockrell to judge his physical abilities as to whether or not he can take the Isthmian Canal Commission position, and, if he cannot, Cockrell is welcome to a position on the Interstate Commerce Commission. In either case, Roosevelt asks Cockrell when he wants to start.
