Letter from Clark Howell to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Clark Howell to Theodore Roosevelt

Clark Howell regrets that he will not be able to get to Washington, D.C. at this point in time to meet with President Roosevelt. Howell happened to run into ex-Governor Joseph Forney Johnston and they talked. Johnston did not discuss with Roosevelt all he wished to get through. Howell wishes Roosevelt to know that Montgomery would be a great place to mention the Jefferson Davis incident and that only a general reference would be needed.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John Milliken Parker

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John Milliken Parker

President Roosevelt responds to a letter from his friend John Milliken Parker. Roosevelt remarks on Parker’s “hysterical tone” suggesting that “increase of rape” and the “relations of the races” has anything to do with Roosevelt’s friendship with Booker T. Washington. Roosevelt does not believe he needs to speak to the press as Parker suggests and gives many examples when he expounded his beliefs on the matter of race relations.
