Letter from Charles J. Bonaparte to Theodore Roosevelt

Attorney General Bonaparte updates President Roosevelt on various matters before the Department of Justice, specifically pertaining to the cases of William Edgar Borah and N. M. Ruick. Bonaparte also goes into great detail about the case of the People of Puerto Rico vs. the Roman Catholic Apostolic Church in Puerto Rico. He encourages Roosevelt not to get involved but instead to let the courts work it out. In a postscript, Bonaparte discusses the political considerations of federal appointees who run for elective office.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to E. D. Rummel

A full account of Theodore Roosevelt’s actions towards Colombia and the creation of the Panama Canal will appear in two weeks in Metropolitan Magazine. He does not understand Hannis Taylor’s attempts at misrepresenting his actions; he was transparent in the process. As president at the time, Roosevelt takes responsibility for gaining control of the canal zone and beginning construction of the Panama Canal. His actions were in accord with the nation’s treaty obligations, followed American policy precedents towards the region, were ratified by Congress, and were “indispensable to the honor and the interest of the United States.”

Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Senator Lodge would like to help Hannis Taylor but President Taft has already selected the commissioners. The tariff commission bill Lodge has been working on will not pass and he is doubtful that Senator Lorimer will retain his Senate seat. He continues to support reciprocity with Canada but the negotiations were poorly conducted and the potential treaty gives a great deal to Canada with nothing in return.
