Letter from Raffaele De Pierro to Theodore Roosevelt

Raffaele De Pierro writes to Theodore Roosevelt about a recent interview Roosevelt had with Peppino Garibaldi. While some Italian Catholic priests have sought to use this interview to present the view that all of them are good, De Pierro, as a pastor of Italian Protestants, provides some examples of priests working for their own benefit and not necessarily that of their communities.

Letter from T. St. John Gaffney to Theodore Roosevelt

T. St. John Gaffney discusses scheduling lunch with President Roosevelt, noting that he will be busy working on the campaign with Jeffrey Roche for the next few days. He believes that the “Italian Element in New York is most important” and that Consul-General DeCastro should return from Rome to speak. Although he believes that Patrick Egan made a good minister to Chili, he argues that Egan is “without character,” without influence among the Irish, and “a danger.” He discusses how Egan sought a position at Tammany Hall.

Letter from William Michael Byrne to William Loeb

William Michael Byrne is working on a program that is based on his belief that the republic is invested in “assimilating races and extending the influence of freedom throughout the continent,” a sentiment which he feels is also expressed by Justice David J. Brewer. Byrne plans to speak to his Italian countrymen, believing that the appointment of Judge Palmiere and himself will show that “the Republican party is not antagonistic to men of foreign birth or traditions.”
