Roosevelt, Theodore, 1858-1919

President Roosevelt thanks Henry Beach Needham for the letter, and is glad that he saw his sister, Corinne Roosevelt Robinson, and daughter, Alice Roosevelt Longworth. Roosevelt believes that the value he can give the American people is in showing them that a person can hold the presidency and act as a strong president, and still keep his word and give up power. Roosevelt agrees with Needham about Frank H. Hitchcock, although he wonders if Frank B. Kellogg would also be worth considering if the government can spare him from the lawsuits against Standard Oil.

President Roosevelt hopes Henry Beach Needham will not think poorly of him if his first involvement with the People’s Lobby is highlighting the issue discussed by Commissioner of Internal Revenue John Watson Yerkes in the enclosed letter. It appears the Lobby’s informant report is erroneous. Based on Roosevelt’s investigation, the bill in question is proper and was not “sneaked thru.”
