Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Ethan Allen Hitchcock
President Roosevelt is not satisfied with the handling of the case against the people in Kansas who are being prosecuted for illegal fencing. A circular from the Department of the Interior prescribes giving sixty day notice to people who illegally put up fences, but Roosevelt believes that the current cases are being prosecuted without notice having been given. He directs Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock to provide answers to several questions, including whether notice was given, and why legal proceedings started if notice had not been given.
