Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Wingate Sewall

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Wingate Sewall

President Roosevelt would be glad to accept the gift of some socks from William Wingate Sewall and his wife, Mary Alice Sherman Sewall. He also wrote to Flavilla Sleeper Caldwell to thank her for the socks, as Sewall suggested. Roosevelt is glad that Sewall approves of what he said about the secret service men, and thinks that Congress is very foolish. He has spoken to President-elect William H. Taft about keeping Sewall in his current position, but also encloses a letter in case there is any question. Roosevelt requests that he keep this letter strictly confidential, otherwise he would receive many other requests for similar letters.

A remarkable cache of newly discovered TR letters: The six TR-to-Bamie letters from 1885

In six letters to his sister Anna Roosevelt Cowles, dating from April to September of 1885, Theodore Roosevelt describes various aspects of his life as a rancher in the Dakota Badlands, touching on subjects such as the weather, working on cattle roundups, and hunting. Roosevelt notes the long hours spent in the saddle tending to cattle herds, inquires about Cowles’s health, and always asks after his infant daughter, though never by her given name of Alice. Roosevelt mentions his ranch hands Wilmot S. Dow and William Wingate Sewall in some of the letters and even highlights his favorite horse Manitou.
