Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Philip Battell Stewart

President Roosevelt is having difficulty acquiring information on the situation in Colorado and is disappointed with the retention of Senator Henry Moore Teller. Governor James Hamilton Peabody has been irritating and has twice requested that troops be put at his disposal. This is constitutionally impossible, as the troops must act under the President and can only enter a state if the Governor complies with certain constitutional provisions.
