Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Robert Means Thompson

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Robert Means Thompson

In response to Colonel Thompson’s letter and petition on behalf of Alfred H. Curtis, President of the National Bank of North America, President Roosevelt sends letters from Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte and the District Attorney. Roosevelt believes that it is clear that Curtis is guilty and says that if Curtis were truly deceived by Charlie Morse, he would have no issue in testifying against him. Even though Curtis was vouched for by a number of different prominent men, Roosevelt says that this is evidence that these sorts of men tend to stick together because of business and social ties.

Letter from Henry L. Stimson to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Henry L. Stimson to Theodore Roosevelt

Referring to the libel case against the New York World, District Attorney Stimson agrees with President Roosevelt’s view that it is important to prosecute the “man at the top.” However, Stimson feels that even though Joseph Pulitzer can be suspected as knowing about the libel, there is not enough evidence to actually indict him. If the federal government’s case against Pulitzer is thrown out by the courts, it would cause any future successful prosecutions against the company or the actually responsible individual to lose its significance.

Notes……..

John A. Gable, Executive Director of the Theodore Roosevelt Association covers a variety of subjects in this installment of “Notes.” He sends birthday greetings to Alice Roosevelt Longworth on her ninety-fifth birthday and talks about her fame as a daughter of President Roosevelt and a hostess in Washington, D.C. He notes the anniversary of a Long Island bank with ties to Theodore Roosevelt, a PBS Christmas series with an episode on Roosevelt, and a running group in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, named in honor of Roosevelt. Gable discusses two scholarly articles published on Roosevelt: one on his connection to Yellowstone National Park and the other on his naval policies. He thanks the National Park Service for publishing Sagamore Hill, a pamphlet marking the twenty-fifth anniversary of the site as a house museum, and closes by asking Theodore Roosevelt Association members to recruit new members to the group in 1979.
