Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Beekman Winthrop
President Roosevelt informs Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Winthrop that the Puerto Rican House of Representatives unanimously passed a bill voting for an amicable settlement, but that the bill was defeated by the executive council, due almost entirely to its American members. Roosevelt asks Winthrop to take the matter up with Puerto Rico Governor Regis Henri Post, and wishes he could get Cabot Ward’s thoughts on the matter.
