Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Elizabeth Snowden Nichols Watrous

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Elizabeth Snowden Nichols Watrous

President Roosevelt will speak personally with Representative William Henry Flack. He asks Elizabeth Snowden Nichols Watrous to find a few local people who will write not only to Flack, but also to Representatives Lucius Nathan Littauer and William H. Draper. Roosevelt suggests getting someone to prepare the bill for Flack, and he will then help Flack “press the bill.” He also suggests getting Carl Schurz and Charles A. Peabody interested, who both have homes on Lake George.
