Letter from George Curry to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from George Curry to Theodore Roosevelt

George Curry has resigned as governor of the Camarines and is now chief of police in Manila. He is proud that Governor Taft selected him for the position. The situation in the Philippines is “working along very nicely” and the Rough Riders on the islands are doing well. Curry reports that Lieutenant Sweet, the former secret service chief, was arrested for abusing prisoners but will likely get out of trouble. He also mentions that Captain Green, who is with him, wishes to be remembered by Roosevelt and “all of the old boys.”
