Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Theodore P. Shonts
President Roosevelt tells Isthmian Canal Chairman Shonts that it has been suggested to him that “truck farming on the Isthmus, especially by Chinamen” could be beneficial. Roosevelt also has been told that there should be steam laundries and churches in the area, and asks Shonts to elaborate on each topic.
