Letter from Charles Emory Smith to Theodore Roosevelt
Charles Emory Smith suggests that President Roosevelt send a naval squadron commanded by Rear Admiral French E. Chadwick to Tangiers in response to the recent kidnapping of Ion Hanford Perdicaris by bandits led by Raisuli. Smith writes to Roosevelt at the urging of Dr. Williams, a friend of Perdicaris and an individual familiar with the geographic area and its customs.
