Letter from Seth Low to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Seth Low to Theodore Roosevelt

New York Mayor Seth Low mentions to President Roosevelt that he had received the Harbor Line Board report from Secretary of War Elihu Root, who also forwarded an endorsement from General George Lewis Gillespie. Low read in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle that night an outline of his letter to Roosevelt on the matter, so if Roosevelt plans to address it, he would like to submit comments. He refrains from writing about it officially so as not to spark controversy between the city and national government. He asks that Roosevelt’s secretary telegraph him at home, as today is his last day in office. He notes that he and Mrs. Low are going abroad but hope to return in time to re-elect Roosevelt to the Presidency.
