Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Charles J. Bonaparte

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Charles J. Bonaparte

President Roosevelt encloses facsimiles of letters in which federal judge Peter Stenger Grosscup requests railroad passes. In particular, in one letter Grosscup mentions that his brother, Benjamin Sidney Grosscup, is referee on a rate case that the railroad is interested in. Roosevelt directs Attorney General Bonaparte to get more information from George W. Wickersham and Raymond Patterson, and to see if anything can be done about Judge Grosscup, whose presence on the bench is a disgrace.
