Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Hobart Hare

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Hobart Hare

President Roosevelt has seen Bishop Hare’s letter to William Loeb and thinks he should respond himself. While Roosevelt would be glad to have lunch with Hare at any time, Hare should be advised that Roosevelt does not believe he can pardon Reverend George G. Ware. Still, enough time has passed since Ware’s punishment for land fraud for Hare to bring the case to Roosevelt.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Hobart Hare

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Hobart Hare

President Roosevelt had thought that Commissioner of Indian Affairs Francis E. Leupp had answered Bishop Hare’s letter, but, seeing that he has not, attempts to answer Hare’s question himself. The Department of Justice has had a great deal of internal debate about what the law authorized regarding the matter Hare referred to. Funds appear to have been spent by religious bodies, following a mistaken opinion, and while those funds will be paid out until the end of the current month, the way future funds should be spent will be made clearer. This will be the case unless, Roosevelt, the lawsuit started by Samuel M. Brosius changes things.
