Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Richard F. Pettigrew
President Roosevelt agrees with Richard F. Pettigrew’s opinion about Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson. Roosevelt could not put Wilson in another department because he is doing such excellent work in his current department. On the other hand, while Roosevelt has a “high regard” for Marion Butler, he cannot give him the position he desires.
