Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Cassius E. Gillette
President Roosevelt tells Cassius E. Gillette that it was best to accept Alfred Noble’s suggestions about the six names. Roosevelt believes that Charles Whiting Baker is “a perfect Trump,” and says that if he wants to go down to Panama, Roosevelt will aid him in every way he can. Roosevelt suggests that Gillette write to President-Elect William H. Taft enclosing this letter, and that Taft would happily include Baker if there is still room.
