Letter from W. S. Clark to Theodore Roosevelt
W. S. Clark appreciates the bullets Theodore Roosevelt sent. He apologizes for the delay in writing, but the mail system in the “most prosperous and most inaccessible of the Alaskan mining camps” is “abominable,” and there is no wireless. Clark sends an editorial from the local paper and enumerates what Alaska needs, including roads, telegraph, and governmental coal management. Since he is “Western,” Clark hopes Roosevelt will aid Alaska as he sympathizes with their needs.
