Letter from Thomas St. John Gaffney to Theodore Roosevelt

Thomas St. John Gaffney writes to President Roosevelt about several enclosed documents that he wrote: campaign articles and a pamphlet about the Irish that John Gardner Coolidge thought was particularly helpful during the campaign. Gaffney also requests consideration for a consular appointment to a European country. Since he is a Catholic who has contacts in the Vatican, Gaffney mentions Belgium, Portugal, or any Catholic European court.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Kermit Roosevelt

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Kermit Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt writes to his son Kermit about his two books that will be published in the spring. He thinks Kermit will enjoy A Book-lover’s Holidays in the Open but does not think he needs to read Fear God, and Take your own Part because he is already very familiar with the material. Roosevelt says he is the only public man to stand against President Wilson, German-Americans, and pacifists. He goes on to criticize Wilson and mentions that the Republican Party will probably nominate Charles Evans Hughes to run against Wilson. Roosevelt also mentions a dinner he had recently and that he is helping Jack Coolidge get published.

William Woodville Rockhill regrets to inform President Roosevelt that John Gardner Coolidge, who has been Secretary for the American Legation in China, would like to resign his position and return to the United States.

Rockhill recommends William Phillips, the current Second Secretary, for the position even though Phillips is still quite young.

Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Henry Cabot Lodge praises President Roosevelt’s selection of Charles Bonaparte as Special Prosecutor for the Post Office Investigation. Lodge states that the Boston Herald has published some highly negative letters about Roosevelt written by Senator Aldrich. Lodge asks that Roosevelt give him a written order so there would be no issue that he act as a U.S. government representative in the arbitration over the border dispute between Alaska and Canada, which results in the Hay-Herbert Treaty. Some correspondence of Lodge’s with Shaw are enclosed, and Lodge discusses his concerns with Shaw’s proposed organizational changes in the Customs Service’s transportation division.
