Copy of letter from Theodore Roosevelt to B. B. Comer

President Roosevelt introduces an enclosed letter summarizing the conclusions of the recent White House Conference on the Care of Dependent Children, and a program of its attendees. One conclusion was that Roosevelt should send each governor a copy of the proceedings for state governments to reference. While the proceedings are being published, Roosevelt sends these enclosures for immediate use. He hopes that the governors will actively promote the Conference’s cause. The names of the governors who received this letter are then listed.

Letter from Herbert S. Hadley to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Herbert S. Hadley to Theodore Roosevelt

Governor Hadley believes that Theodore Roosevelt needs to shortly deliver a public statement regarding his views on potentially accepting the Republican presidential nomination. Hadley suggests that a statement would be preferable to responding to a letter from several state governors as this could appear like a “prearranged affair.” He recommends a brief statement referencing the great demand for Roosevelt to be a candidate and Roosevelt’s public duty to respond.
