Memorandum from Elihu Root to Henry Clark Corbin
Secretary of War Root orders an investigation into an 1898 contract to supply gloves to the Quartermaster’s Department of the Army. In the course of bankruptcy proceedings, it has come to light that the Littauer Brothers firm, which includes Representative Lucius Nathan Littauer, was interested in the contract. Root is concerned that the contract or the bidding was handled improperly.
