Letter from Eugene A. Philbin to Theodore Roosevelt

Eugene A. Philbin writes to President Roosevelt hoping to correct his belief that Father John J. Wynne wished to create a poor impression regarding the government’s attitude towards the Philippines. Philbin reminds Roosevelt of the contributions that Wynne has made in helping navigate the position of the Catholic Church in the Philippines. Instead, Philbin believes that Roosevelt has lost the favor of some Catholics because Roosevelt’s opinion regarding the Catholic church has come up too frequently during the campaign, which in turn has led to backlash against him from various sources.

Letter from Leslie M. Shaw to Theodore Roosevelt
