Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Charles J. Bonaparte

President Roosevelt responds to a letter from Attorney General Bonaparte, and comments on the actions of Senator Jonathan Bourne in trying to involve Roosevelt in a matter involving Standard Oil. Roosevelt plans to explain to Bourne and John D. Archbold that it does them no good to speak with him, and they need to communicate with Bonaparte and Frank B. Kellogg. Roosevelt suggests having Alford Warriner Cooley stop by Idaho on his way from Alaska and take care of some business involving United States Attorney Lycurgus H. Lingenfelter. In his postscript, Roosevelt says that he is glad that Bonaparte wrote to Meyer about Mr. Levely, as he had not heard anything about the matter. Roosevelt is glad that Bonaparte thought of John Carter Rose as a person to potentially be appointed, as Roosevelt thinks it is a very good suggestion.
