Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Douglas Robinson
If anyone is appointed who is not the son of an officer, President Roosevelt would likely take a man of Confederate ancestry as the South must be represented. The grandson of General Johnson would be the probable candidate. Douglas Robinson should not cancel his dinner party as he and Roosevelt can meet at a later time. Robert Bacon has been more helpful than George W. Perkins with the trust message.
