Copy of letter from Theodore Roosevelt to B. B. Comer

Copy of letter from Theodore Roosevelt to B. B. Comer

President Roosevelt introduces an enclosed letter summarizing the conclusions of the recent White House Conference on the Care of Dependent Children, and a program of its attendees. One conclusion was that Roosevelt should send each governor a copy of the proceedings for state governments to reference. While the proceedings are being published, Roosevelt sends these enclosures for immediate use. He hopes that the governors will actively promote the Conference’s cause. The names of the governors who received this letter are then listed.

Letter from Herbert S. Hadley to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Herbert S. Hadley to Theodore Roosevelt

Governor Hadley encloses a letter from Governor Vessey as it is Hadley’s understanding that Vessey has not communicated directly with Theodore Roosevelt. Hadley suggests that Roosevelt’s requests for advice from his friends regarding the Republican presidential nomination are being “indefinitely enlarged” as these correspondents confidentially show their friends and so on. This is creating a semi-authoritative statement of Roosevelt’s position that may be different from Roosevelt’s intentions. The confusion is also allowing letters to circulate from Roosevelt’s former friends that Roosevelt will not accept the nomination even if it were offered.
