Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Maurice Francis Egan

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Maurice Francis Egan

Theodore Roosevelt thanks Maurice Francis Egan for sending Arthur Hamilton Lee’s letter and comments that Mr. Smalley was the exiled American – an exile in “every sense of the word.” Roosevelt asks that Egan think about whether Egan’s response to Mr. Phillips’ letter would be “apt to hurt” Egan before he signs it; Roosevelt looks fondly upon Egan and would feel “exceedingly bad” if anything happened to interfere with Egan’s career.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Lustgarten

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Lustgarten

Theodore Roosevelt congratulates William Lustgarten on having started a society among American citizens of foreign birth who are against hyphenated Americanism. Roosevelt holds that the naturalized American of the right type is precisely as much an American as any other citizen of the right type whose ancestors came to America, and he regrets that there are many native-born Americans who are hyphenated Americans. Roosevelt thinks Americanism is a matter of soul and spirit. Roosevelt supports Lustgarten’s work against “that most sinister and evil of all movements” which would destroy national unity.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Frederick Zadok Rooker

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Frederick Zadok Rooker

President Roosevelt was not surprised by Bishop Rooker’s letter since he had already heard of the conflict between Rooker and the Filipinos, as well as the American government officials. Many people have contradicted what Rooker said and Roosevelt hopes that the Catholic prelates in the Philippines can convince the Filipinos that they are their friends and not their enemies like the friars who preceded them. Roosevelt has taken steps to create a special tribunal regarding the Aglipayan quarrel, disregards Rooker’s “groundless” claims against Commissioner Smith and is committed to increasing Filipino independence.

Letter from B. Storer to Francis Augustus MacNutt

Letter from B. Storer to Francis Augustus MacNutt

Ambassador Storer tells Francis Augustus MacNutt that the report concerning his Washington club has not reached him nor his wife, Maria Longworth Storer. Mrs. Storer heard of the “manner and reason” of MacNutt’s resignation from the civil service from a “sound authority” who named another authority on the subject when questioned; these were President Roosevelt, then Civil Service Commissioner, and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. Storer believed the report to have come from Archibald Loudon Snowden or Mr. Griggs.

Letter from Alvey A. Adee to William Loeb

Letter from Alvey A. Adee to William Loeb

Assistant Secretary of State Adee forwards a telegram from Hungarian statesman Albert Apponyi asking that American representatives be present at the unveiling of a statue of George Washington in Budapest. Since Apponyi does not seem to hold a position in the executive government of Hungary, Adee suggests to William Loeb that a telegram be sent stating that President Roosevelt could not be represented without a formal invitation from the Royal and Imperial Government.
