Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Julian W. Mack
President Roosevelt clarifies his role as head of the Conference on the Care of Dependent Children to Julian W. Mack, ex-president of the National Conference of Jewish Societies. Although Roosevelt doesn’t mind his name being used for transitional and continuity purposes, he insists that someone else must be in charge by the time he returns from his African safari. Roosevelt stresses that keeping his name on would require him to assume responsibility for other commissions and conferences, putting him in an impossible position.
