Letter from Jeff Davis to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Jeff Davis to Theodore Roosevelt

Jeff Davis, governor of Arkansas, is seeking a pardon from President Roosevelt for Sam Seelig, who pled guilty to embezzling $25 from the Post Office Department. Seelig is in the midst of a five-year sentence, and his wife is reliant upon charity. Although Davis does not personally know him, Seelig is a relative of Davis’ personal secretary, and it is apparent that a previous meeting with Roosevelt regarding this matter was less than encouraging.
