Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to George B. Cortelyou

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to George B. Cortelyou

President Roosevelt disregards the attacks on Chairman of the Republican National Committee Cortelyou’s reputation and says they have no basis. He praises Cortelyou for his work on the campaign, noting that Lilly Morris Hinds Cortelyou was the only person who dined with the Roosevelts outside of family on election night. Roosevelt concludes by asking Cortelyou if any remaining funds can go toward Father T. Augustine Dwyer, who wrote a tribute to Roosevelt at the expense of being exiled to Canada by the Catholic Church. The president hopes to soften the blow by giving Dwyer $1,500 to study in Rome.

Letter from Frank Harper to James W. Fowler

Letter from Frank Harper to James W. Fowler

On behalf of Theodore Roosevelt, Frank Harper writes to J. W. Fowler and strongly denies the story that Roosevelt gave any money to T. Augustine Dwyer to travel in Europe. Harper acknowledges that Roosevelt did write to Dwyer previously thanking him for his support while he was a Catholic priest, but makes it clear that Roosevelt has not followed Dwyer’s subsequent career in any way.

Letter from James W. Fowler to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from James W. Fowler to Theodore Roosevelt

James W. Fowler asks Theodore Roosevelt if the assertions made by T. Augustine Dwyer that Roosevelt gave him a sum of money to travel in Europe during Roosevelt’s presidency are accurate. Dwyer holds several authentic letters from Roosevelt, and while Fowler assures Roosevelt that neither he nor other friends of Dwyer want to bring publicity to a personal matter, they would like to know “for their own satisfaction.”

Letter to Eugene A. Philbin to William Loeb

Letter to Eugene A. Philbin to William Loeb

Eugene A. Philbin received William Loeb’s letter and has read the enclosed letters from Father John Ireland and Colonel Clarence Ransom Edwards. He believes the matter of the Filipino students has been handled satisfactorily. The blunder of William A. Sutherland has been a good thing, providing President Roosevelt an opportunity to show his desire to be just and fair. The Daily News is calling for intervention into the case of children abducted from Catholic sisters in Arizona, but Roosevelt has already taken action. Philbin has received more letters regarding the Friar Lands Question which contain facts that should be brought to the attention of Roosevelt, but this should wait until after the election. Thomas A. Dwyer, a religious charlatan, is claiming he interviewed Roosevelt and received a favor from him. Philbin believes this is of no concern and mentions it only in passing. He returns the letters from Ireland and Edwards. He leaves tomorrow night for New York.
