Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Nevada N. Stranahan
President Roosevelt shares with Nevada N. Stranahan, Collector of Customs in New York, that he feels Governor Frank Wayland Higgins is correct about suggesting John T. Mott as chairman of the New York Republican State Committee. He would have accepted several other candidates, but there would be too much opposition. Roosevelt will gladly back Mott and considers him ideal for the situation. He wants Higgins to take care of the matter immediately and asks Stranahan to contact William L. Ward and George W. Dunn.
