Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Francis J. Heney
President Roosevelt will keep and prize the letter from Judge Francis J. Heney, and praises Heney’s character and acts as a judge. When Roosevelt first heard of the assassination (or, as he heard later, attempted assassination) of Heney, Roosevelt was filled with grief and anger, and wanted to carry on the work that Heney had done. He is pleased that Heney is almost recovered, and tells him to take no chances and follow the instructions of his doctor.
