Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William H. Taft

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William H. Taft

President Roosevelt responds to Secretary of War Taft regarding a recent letter from Charles Phelps Taft. Roosevelt appointed Bernhard Bettmann to the position of Ohio Collector of Internal Revenue, first district, on the suggestions of Charles and Ohio Insurance Commissioner Arthur I. Vorys, against the wishes of Ohio Senators Joseph Benson Foraker and Charles Dick. If the Taft people cannot control Bettmann, then actions against Commissioner of Internal Revenue John G. Capers will not solve it. Roosevelt admired Taft’s speech, even if it could not reach the crowd affiliated with the morning’s editorial in The Sun.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Alice Roosevelt Longworth

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Alice Roosevelt Longworth

President Roosevelt writes to his recently-married daughter Alice Longworth advising her that if she and her husband Congressman Nicholas Longworth plan to stop at Vienna, Austria, they should also stop in Budapest, Hungary, so that it does not appear they are showing preference to one side of the dual monarchy. Roosevelt also advises her to visit Cincinnatti when she returns, because it is important for the people of the city to feel that she takes an interest in her husband’s hometown. Roosevelt is glad to hear that the Longworth’s have been having a good time on their trip so far in London, and briefly shares his amusement at the distress Alice’s visit has caused to some people who had married titled Europeans who were not invited to their gatherings. Life at Sagamore Hill is going well.
