William Davenport Hulbert is in Alaska reporting on various matters for The Outlook and asks for Theodore Roosevelt’s insights. First, he would like information on Representative James Wickersham, who was a District Judge during Roosevelt’s presidency. He has heard that Wickersham was lax in enforcing drinking and gambling laws and knows that Roosevelt had someone investigate his conduct. He also would like any information Roosevelt has relating to the suicide of David Henry Jarvis. It seems likely that “big special interests” and corruption in Alaska may have influenced Jarvis.
