Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Charles W. Eliot

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Charles W. Eliot

President Roosevelt tells Charles W. Eliot, President of Harvard University, he had been able to stand against Andrew Dickson White but concedes when the President of his alma mater writes, he has to make an exception. While it may be right for the good of the service, Eliot does not know how difficult it is to keep an approximate geographical equality for the service.

Letter from Henry Green to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Henry Green to Theodore Roosevelt

Henry Green reminisces about his childhood in Albany, when he saw then Governor Theodore Roosevelt as a “God.” In 1910, Green supported William S. Bennet in his race for re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives. He was disappointed to learn that Roosevelt sided with “pink tea politicians,” opposing Bennet. Green remarks about how much he enjoyed his and Roosevelt’s recent meeting, and that he was too overwhelmed to mention that Andrew D. White has agreed to serve on his committee, and Oscar Straus could soon join as well.

Letter from Nicholas Murray Butler to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Nicholas Murray Butler to Theodore Roosevelt

Nicholas Murray Butler updates President Roosevelt on the progress being made to establish the Association for International Conciliation, with funding from Andrew Carnegie. The peace work of the association is to be done as quietly as possible and in accordance with the wishes of Roosevelt and Secretary of State Elihu Root. In addition, Butler offers Roosevelt his support in regard to the Brownsville affair and encourages Roosevelt to keep up a “stiff front” to the “Senate oligarchy.” Butler also shares his observations regarding how railroad officials are trying to make the new railroad rate law unpopular, but concludes that, despite challenges, the law will succeed in the end.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Oscar S. Straus

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Oscar S. Straus

President Roosevelt writes to Oscar S. Straus about the international situation, and while Russia has promised to take steps to prevent trouble being done to its Jewish population, Roosevelt also comments on the impossibility of interfering in other countries, such as the Congo Free State or Turkey. Issuing petitions can sometimes be harmful unless the United States is able to back up the petitions with military force, which it is unlikely to do. Roosevelt knows he does not have to convince Straus of this, but some of Straus’s friends “need to have these considerations ever clearly before their eyes.”
