Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Frances Theodora Parsons

Police Commissioner Roosevelt appreciates Frances Theodora Parsons’s advice regarding his high level of nervousness before the hearing. Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt has made similar comments on several occasions. Roosevelt has always been nervous before a “contest” but usually enjoys the actual fight. The hearing went well with a victory over General Benjamin F. Tracy and Roosevelt, under oath, was able to state to Commissioner Andrew D. Parker what he thought of Parker’s moral character.
