Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Alford Warriner Cooley

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Alford Warriner Cooley

President Roosevelt spoke with Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte about Alford Warriner Cooley’s letter. Roosevelt intends to leave the position open for the moment, then appoint Cooley towards the end of February. He believes that if Cooley is in office when President-Elect William H. Taft takes office, he will probably remain. Roosevelt is not sure if the Senate will consent to confirming Cooley and advises him to get his references set up. Roosevelt is adamant, however, that Cooley should not return to work unless his doctors approve a return to work, as Cooley must not do anything that endangers his health.

Letter from Susan Dexter Dalton Cooley to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Susan Dexter Dalton Cooley to Theodore Roosevelt

Susan Dexter Dalton Cooley, the wife of Assistant Attorney General Alford Warriner Cooley, tells President Roosevelt how his recent letter eased Cooley’s mind during his convalescence. Cooley finds comfort in Roosevelt’s friendship as she faces her husband’s recovery, which is progressing well. Regarding the check, Cooley does not want to feel obligated to hurry his recovery to earn the proffered money and, therefore, returned it to Roosevelt. Cooley believes her husband might be able to do a little work again in four months, but wishes for him to stay a little longer to ensure that he is able to return to health. She is looking forward to spending the winter in the warmer climate, and hopes to get a little home by a lake for a time once her husband is able to leave the sanatorium.
