Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Lyman Abbott

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Lyman Abbott

President Roosevelt comments on the ongoing furor surrounding the trials of Charles H. Moyer and Big Bill Haywood, looking down on he support they are receiving from socialists and anarchists from across the country. He reflects that he has had an odd presidency, and that “a goodly number of the things I have done which i regard as most important will probably never see the light and will be known to only a few people,” including the situation in Idaho, the Russo-Japanese peace negotiations, the Algeciras conference, and the Alaska boundary dispute.

Telegram from Winthrop Murray Crane to George B. Cortelyou

Governor Crane, in response to George B. Cortelyou’s request for information on whether Stephen B. Whiting would be a good candidate to be a part of the Anthacite Coal Strike Commission, opines that while Whiting is considered a man of high repute and ability, he is on friendly terms with the railroads and may not be an impartial judge. Crane thinks, therefore, that Whiting does not fill the requirements of the position. He sends President Roosevelt his congratulations on “his great success.”
