Letter from Albert J. Beveridge to Gifford Pinchot
Senator Beveridge writes to Gifford Pinchot to chronicle the sense of general distrust and disappointment in President Taft. Beveridge reports that early misgivings were roused by Taft’s treatment of Theodore Roosevelt’s friends, the make up of his cabinet, and the men chosen to be his advisors. The tariff bill is almost universally hated throughout the country and Taft has gone out of his way to defend it. Beveridge fears that dislike of Taft is turning to hatred in some parts, and that others think the President is “stupid” or “punk.”

Letter from Gifford Pinchot to Theodore Roosevelt
Gifford Pinchot writes to Theodore Roosevelt in Africa to provide a recap of current events. An investigation into Secretary of the Interior Richard Achilles Ballinger and the Forest Service will begin shortly. Pinchot believes that special interests control Congress and President William H. Taft’s administration, whose actions are characterized by “a most surprising weakness and indecision.” Taft has abandoned many of Roosevelt’s policies, and Pinchot sees a rift emerging between Taft and the more progressive elements of the Republican party. Pinchot sends his love to Kermit Roosevelt.
