Letter from Robert Bacon to William Loeb

Letter from Robert Bacon to William Loeb

Assistant Secretary of State Bacon provides the requested report on Princess Sofia Grigorievna Kropotkina. She is the wife of Petr Alekseevich Kropotkin, a well-known geographer, scientist, and anarchist, and is known to assist him in his work. The State Department has no records regarding Kropotkin’s 1900 visit to the United States, nor the proposed visit of Kropotkina. There may be an indication in the records of the Department of Commerce and Labor regarding waiving the statute which excludes anarchists from entering the country.

Letter from Owen Wister to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Owen Wister to Theodore Roosevelt

Owen Wister thanks President Roosevelt for obtaining the definitive answer that Princess Sofia Grigorievna Kropotkina would not be allowed entry into the United States. The point of the inquiry was not to determine whether it was desirable for her to come, but rather to save her from having to cross the ocean to find she could not land. He is still waiting for the book that he wants to send, an epic poem about Abraham Lincoln.
