Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Charles J. Bonaparte

President Roosevelt responds to a letter from Attorney General Bonaparte, and comments on the actions of Senator Jonathan Bourne in trying to involve Roosevelt in a matter involving Standard Oil. Roosevelt plans to explain to Bourne and John D. Archbold that it does them no good to speak with him, and they need to communicate with Bonaparte and Frank B. Kellogg. Roosevelt suggests having Alford Warriner Cooley stop by Idaho on his way from Alaska and take care of some business involving United States Attorney Lycurgus H. Lingenfelter. In his postscript, Roosevelt says that he is glad that Bonaparte wrote to Meyer about Mr. Levely, as he had not heard anything about the matter. Roosevelt is glad that Bonaparte thought of John Carter Rose as a person to potentially be appointed, as Roosevelt thinks it is a very good suggestion.

Letter from Charles J. Bonaparte to Theodore Roosevelt

Charles J. Bonaparte alerts Theodore Roosevelt that Bonaparte has misstepped “on the field of official duty of a Sub-Committee of a Committee on the Reception of Invited Guests” by arranging for Roosevelt’s reception, but has rectified the situation by inviting this “sub-Committee”—Judge John Carter Rose and W. Hall Harris—to informally dine with them, alongside his wife. In a post-script, he remarks that the Baltimore Sun requested Bonaparte to give a letter of introduction to their New York correspondent so that the reporter might interview Roosevelt on his train down to Baltimore, though he declined the request.

Letter from Charles J. Bonaparte to Theodore Roosevelt

Attorney General Bonaparte reports to President Roosevelt on conversations he has recently had with several people. Bonaparte has received a draft of a decree in the Standard Oil case and will submit it after reviewing it, but is not sure when negotiations will conclude. John Carter Rose is likely to decline, but is waiting to hear from his wife before he makes a final decision. Milton Dwight Purdy is anxious to receive his appointment in Minnesota soon. An investigation into electrical materials that Bonaparte has mentioned to Roosevelt before has become very interesting, and Bonaparte plans to write to Roosevelt later at greater length about the situation. Bonaparte also mentions some of his upcoming travel plans.

Letter from Charles J. Bonaparte to Theodore Roosevelt

Attorney General Bonaparte tells President Roosevelt that their plan about John Carter Rose seems to be impractical. Rose was flattered by the offer, but thought he could not accept because of the lesser salary, even after further discussions. Bonaparte thinks he needs some time to reflect before he can suggest another person. He also comments about several vacancies and possible appointments, and advises Roosevelt about these matters.

Letter from Charles J. Bonaparte to Theodore Roosevelt

Attorney General Bonaparte has heard from U.S. Attorney John Carter Rose that Stevenson A. Williams voted for Chicago, rather than Kansas City, as the location for the Republican National Convention. Williams told Rose he did so because Assistant Postmaster General Frank H. Hitchcock assured him that President Roosevelt’s administration preferred Chicago. Bonaparte encloses a letter from Williams, which shows that Hitchcock did not claim to be the administration’s representative, but Williams assumed that he was.
