Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Barnes

President Roosevelt explains that Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte had at first recommended that District Attorney George B. Curtiss be removed, or that he be allowed to serve out his term without reappointment. Based on this information, Roosevelt informed John W. Dwight, J. Sloat Fassett, and George W. Dunn about the situation. Since then, however, the opinion within the Department of Justice has changed, and so Roosevelt no longer has any ground to not reappoint Curtiss. He understands, however, that William Barnes has been put in a difficult position because of this, and promises to look into the matter further.

Telegram from Theodore Roosevelt to Pearl Wight

President Roosevelt informs Pearl Wight that he has decided to appoint E. D. Saunders to the District Court for East Louisiana. Although he has heard many good things about Mr. Caffery, Roosevelt believes that the general opinion overwhelmingly favors Saunders for this position. Were Judge Taylor Beattie a younger man Roosevelt would likely appoint him, as he is a “most admirable man” in Roosevelt’s opinion.
