Letter from F. V. Greene to Theodore Roosevelt

F. V. Greene is disappointed that Commissioner Roosevelt declined the invitation to head the street cleaning bureau for New York City. He believes the problem of municipal government is more important than the work of the Civil Service Commission and that Roosevelt would have direct influence in New York City, whereas on the Commission he is merely an adviser. Greene hopes Roosevelt might consider a role in city administration when his term on the Commission ends.

Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Henry Cabot Lodge discusses the impact on the Republican and Democratic parties of the debate over the gold vs. silver standard. He also considers the level of support in various regions of the nation for several likely presidential candidates. Lodge responds to Theodore Roosevelt’s critique of Representative Thomas B. Reed for not speaking out firmly enough in support of the gold standard when he cast a vote on legislation dealing with gold bonds. Lodge asks Roosevelt to “straighten out” George W. Smalley, the American correspondent of the London Times and a personal friend and promoter of Roosevelt’s, on the true American sentiment regarding the Monroe Doctrine.
