Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John M. Thompson

Theodore Roosevelt offers to write a letter of introduction for John M. Thompson’s son to the bankers of the South American bank that employs Kermit Roosevelt. However, Roosevelt did not communicate with the bank when Kermit applied and the bankers are politically opposed to Roosevelt. He fears a letter would do more damage then good.
