Letter from Theodore Andrea Cook to Theodore Roosevelt
Theodore Andrea Cook explains to President Roosevelt the reasons behind his writing to the White House regarding the controversy raised by officials from the American Olympic Committee and the London Olympics. Cook believes that the letter from James E. Sullivan accusing British officials of treating American athletes unfairly misrepresents the situation. England’s Amateur Athletic Association has investigated the matter; Cook privately sends Roosevelt rough drafts of the findings, but asks that they be kept private until they are formally released. Cook will keep Roosevelt’s letter private.
