Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Dudley Foulke

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Dudley Foulke

President Roosevelt believes the statements made by Delevan Smith in the Indianapolis News are patently false, and that refuting them will bring them undue attention. Because William Dudley Foulke insists that a reply be made, however, Roosevelt writes to refute the charges of a scandal involved in the purchasing of the Panama Canal zone from France. Roosevelt particularly refutes the charge that the affair has not been transparent, as documents related to it have been freely available. Roosevelt has refuted other false charges leveled against his administration, but the newspapers continue to print them, so he doubts whether his denial will be effective.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Ethan Allen Hitchcock

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Ethan Allen Hitchcock

President Roosevelt sends Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock copies of the text of several letters concerning grants of land and oil and gas leases held by Richard C. Adams. He tells Hitchcock that it would be unfair to deprive Adams of privileges he had been assured of by one of these earlier letters, allowing him to lease 9600 acres rather than the usual 4800 acres, and therefore directs that newly amended regulations not apply to Adams’s leases.

Letter from Matthew Stanley Quay to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Matthew Stanley Quay to Theodore Roosevelt

Senator Quay suggests, now that the Indian bill is “practically through,” that President Roosevelt meet with a member of the Delaware tribe regarding his leases, about which Quay speak with Roosevelt recently. Quay argues that the matter of the leases is between this man and his tribesmen and that “the Secretary of the Interior ought not to interfere as long as the terms are just.”

Letter from Matthew Stanley Quay to Theodore Roosevelt

Senator Quay forgot to speak to President Roosevelt about Charles J. Bonaparte’s report from the Board of Indian Commissioners. Quay says that if the Dawes Commission is dissolved except for Tams Bixby, who is given the commission’s powers, the arrangement will please both Quay and the people. Quay has a plan for “relieving” the Delawares.
