Letter from John Grimes Walker to Theodore Roosevelt

Admiral Walker expresses his views on matters related to the privileges and property of the Panama Canal Company that were raised in a letter from the company’s president, Maurice Hutin. Walker defends the work of the Isthmian Canal Commission and the estimate of the Panama Canal Company’s worth at $40 million. He does not believe that further examination or arbitration as suggested by Hutin should be considered.
