Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Eleroy Curtis
President Roosevelt wants to correct mistakes and falsehoods in William Eleroy Curtis’s letter about the state of political appointments in Alabama. Roosevelt believes that Curtis was misled by a statement by Mr. Faulkner, which implied that Roosevelt has appointed fewer and worse African Americans to positions than William McKinley did. The appointments in Alabama have been higher quality in the last three and a half years.
