Letter from Adam L. Mohler to William Loeb
Vice President Mohler of the Union Pacific Railroad Company describes to William Loeb the scene at the Omaha train station, where the sheriff, deputy sheriff, and 300 people had gathered to see President Roosevelt’s party pass through. The presidential party suddenly changed their travel plans and bypassed Omaha, likely in order to avoid Loeb being served legal papers by a woman name Mae Catherine Wood. Mohler explains that the people were disappointed, but he and many others are glad that Wood did not have an opportunity to achieve her purpose. Mohler believes that “no ill will is engendered toward the party,” and the handling of this incident will prove an effective lesson for the future.
