Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Thomas Fortune Ryan
President Roosevelt thanks Thomas Fortune Ryan for his note and explains that he understands why Fortune has called upon Theodore P. Shonts for a new position, and that it would not be right to object. However, he is thankful that they could make arrangements for Shonts to stay in his current position as Chairman of the Isthmian Canal Commission for an extra six weeks.
