Letter from Robert Grant to Theodore Roosevelt
Robert Grant and his wife are going abroad, and he asks President Roosevelt for a letter of introduction to Ambassador Whitelaw Reid in London, so that they might be able to visit Parliament or any interesting court events. He approved of Roosevelt’s recent message on lawbreakers and sympathizes with his desire to break up trusts and enact laws that will prevent combinations. Lest Roosevelt think that Grant is a “mere flatterer,” he informs him that he disapproves of his attitude towards judges with whom he disagrees. Grant closes with a message of support for Secretary of War William H. Taft’s nomination for president.
