Letter from Charles J. Bonaparte to Theodore Roosevelt
Attorney General Bonaparte forwards President Roosevelt messages exchanged between Oregon Attorney General William C. Bristol and himself, as well as reports from those involved with the land fraud cases that demonstrate Bristol’s negligent behavior in performing his job. The Department of Justice has received many complaints about delays in the proceedings of the land fraud suits, and Bristol has repeatedly ignored official communications. Bonaparte does not recommend Bristol be renominated as Attorney General of Oregon.
