Letter from Thomas J. Dolan to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Thomas J. Dolan to Theodore Roosevelt

Returning from a recent trip, Thomas J. Dolan informs President Roosevelt that while he heard “a certain class of people” criticize Roosevelt, the average citizen still fully supports him. Despite an increase in business, the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad company laid off 300 travel agents within the last three days, as have other companies. Dolan believes the reason is to cause public discontent with Roosevelt’s administration. As he considers Roosevelt a friend, Dolan does not want to see him blamed for matters he does not control.
