Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Alpheus Geer
Theodore Roosevelt appreciates Alpheus Geer’s letter and is grateful that he understands what he is trying to do. He agrees with Geer regarding the inefficient handling of the trust question. The senseless attack on corporations and refusal to do them justice is “iniquitous.” Roosevelt does not want the presidential nomination.
