Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Jesse Overstreet
President Roosevelt acknowledges that Representative Overstreet recommended Frank D. Stalnaker for Collector of Customs at the Port of Indianapolis. Although Stalnaker is a man of good character and is qualified for the position, Roosevelt had already promised Senator Albert J. Beveridge that he would nominate Leopold G. Rothschild to the position. Roosevelt includes a list of firms and businessmen who have endorsed Rothschild.
