Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Jesse Overstreet
President Roosevelt copies a letter originally written to James N. Tyner, but never sent. Tyner requested that the president right the wrong that has been done to him, in light of his recent acquittal of all criminal charges. Although Roosevelt respects the decision of the Grand Jury, he will not support Tyner’s re-instatement to office because of the moral charges against Tyner. Roosevelt provides evidence by copying reports and letters regarding Tyner’s actions.
