Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Eugene A. Philbin

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Eugene A. Philbin

President Roosevelt does not wish to take action on the case of Francis Augustus MacNutt in the absence of Secretary of State Elihu Root, and believes the only thing he can say is that the State Department has transmitted the records dealing with MacNutt to him, which contain all official information on the matter. Roosevelt cannot do what David B. Ogden requests and make an inquiry into Archibald Loudon Snowden, as it is thirteen years after the event. Apart from any actions warranted by the official record, Roosevelt will not act on the matter. He is sure that on reflection Eugene A. Philbin will see that it would be unwise for Roosevelt to involve himself in the matter.

Letter from William Dudley Foulke to Theodore Roosevelt

On behalf of his former classmate, David B. Ogden, William Dudley Foulke asks President Roosevelt to reconsider the charges of disloyalty brought against Francis Augustus MacNutt when he was in Spain. Foulke says that minister Archibald Loudon Snowden has made contradictory statements about the matter. Foulke also notes that attacks on Roosevelt in the press are becoming milder, perhaps because they seem to be ineffectual.

Letter from John H. Barnes to Origen S. Seymour

Letter from John H. Barnes to Origen S. Seymour

John Hampton Barnes reports to Origen S. Seymour that he has spoken with Archibald Loudon Snowden, former United States Minister to Spain, regarding Snowden’s request to transfer Francis N. MacNutt, his secretary of legation, in 1893. It was alleged McNutt was transferred because he divulged secrets to priests. Snowden stated that he merely could not rely on MacNutt’s loyalty during negotiations and had no knowledge of MacNutt divulging secrets.
