Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Henry Hunt

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Henry Hunt

President Roosevelt intends to give Governor Hunt, William H. Taft, and General Wood a large degree of autonomy in matters dealing with the Philippines, Cuba, and Puerto Rico. He has written to Senator Hanna and predicts no difficulty with the appointment of Frederic C. Howe. Hunt’s opinion is welcomed on the suggested appointment of Albert D. Elliot as Secretary of State for Puerto Rico. William McKinley’s intention was to appoint Charles Hartzell as Secretary of State, and Roosevelt will continue with this appointment unless Hunt has any objections. Hunt is urged to write with absolute freedom over any appointments or policy issues.
