Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William H. Taft

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William H. Taft

President Roosevelt and William Loeb both think Secretary of War Taft’s chances of being elected are improving. Removing Kentucky Collector of Internal Revenue Edward T. Franks is delicate, and Roosevelt will consult with Commissioner of Internal Revenue John G. Capers. Roosevelt will echo Taft’s statement on the Philippines. The financiers are now attacking the Great White Fleet’s trip to the Pacific. Roosevelt sends an enclosure exemplifying Lucius Nathan Littauer’s behavior, and he has heard there will be support for Governor Charles Evans Hughes.

Letter from Francis E. Leupp to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Francis E. Leupp to Theodore Roosevelt

Commissioner of Indian Affairs Leupp thanks President Roosevelt for sending the letter from Colonel Brown. Leupp had hoped to appoint Brown to a superintendency before discovering that the law prohibited the appointment of retired officers of Brown’s pay grade. Leupp asks Roosevelt to make inquiries into the matter with the Attorney General and thanks Roosevelt for making similar inquiries regarding the extension of trust patents for Native Americans. Leupp encloses a letter from Reverend Abbott discussing materials pertaining to contracts with Indian parochial schools, as well as a letter from Darwin R. James who has found a candidate for the superintendency of the Indian Warehouse of New York. Leupp has visited and “stirred up” the Winnebago and Klamath Reservations and looks forward to entertaining Roosevelt with an account of his adventures.

Letter from William H. H. Llewellyn to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from William H. H. Llewellyn to Theodore Roosevelt

William H. H. Llewellyn just missed Theodore Roosevelt’s train after his speech but is glad Roosevelt got to meet his son, Theodore R. Llewellyn. He wants to talk about the situation in New Mexico regarding the Department of Justice, which only has one representative. With the troubles in Mexico and the violation of neutrality and customs laws, there should be more representatives. Llewellyn discusses situations where “there has been some very high handed doings in connection with the enforcement of the law.” He also wanted to talk to Roosevelt about being appointed to the International Boundary Commission, especially after Anson Mills’ “scurrilous” attack on Roosevelt in the newspapers.

Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Senator Lodge is glad President Roosevelt approves of his statements at Malden and that they agree on Clifford Anderson Lanier’s comments. Louis Curtis recently expressed a positive outlook on Secretary of the Treasury George B. Cortelyou’s policies regarding stock speculation. Lodge touches on the difficulty with Henry K. Daugherty, the whiskey blenders, and the Standard Oil letters before discussing his feelings on Roosevelt’s term of office. Although he feels Roosevelt must stick to his word, Lodge wishes Roosevelt could run again and continue his service to the country. Lodge assesses support for Secretary of War William H. Taft, especially in relation to Governor Charles Evans Hughes.
