Letter from D. Edwin Hawley to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from D. Edwin Hawley to Theodore Roosevelt

D. Edwin Hawley shares his thoughts with Theodore Roosevelt regarding Roosevelt’s ability to be nominated for President at the Republican National Convention. Hawley has met Roosevelt before, has read everything Roosevelt has written, and has followed Roosevelt’s career from the beginning, so he feels confident in his assessment of Roosevelt’s ability to win the nomination if he remains calm and non-committal.

Letter from Francis G. Howard to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Francis G. Howard to Theodore Roosevelt

Francis G. Howard asks Theodore Roosevelt if he thinks it would be a good thing to have a portrait of General O. O. Howard hang in Washington, D.C.. Howard has a good portrait, currently on loan to the Union League Club, but would like for it to hang somewhere in Washington, D.C. He has not felt able to advocate for such a move, though, and wonders if Roosevelt might be wiling to raise the matter.

Letter from John A. Sleicher to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from John A. Sleicher to Theodore Roosevelt

John A. Sleicher tells President Roosevelt about his recent dinner with former New York Governor Frank Swett Black, and discusses Black’s role in the midnight conference before the convention made its nomination. Sleicher asserts that “history was made” both at the conference and the convention. Sleicher also comments on the graded income tax which Roosevelt seems to favor. Sleicher presumes such a tax must be instituted eventually, but he does not think it is yet required and, as with all new forms of taxation, it will “arouse widespread antagonism.” Sleicher adds that he read Roosevelt’s Harrisburg speech with interest, but expresses concern about some unjustified expressions emphasized by “Socialistic editors.”
