Letter from Joseph Bucklin Bishop to Theodore Roosevelt (1903-10-21)

General Thomas Hubbard has ordered that "the Jew's" notice to Bishop to be withdrawn. (Newspaper editor Moses Strauss had apparently given Bishop a notice of dismissal.) Bishop hopes that Strauss might be driven out and that this will save the paper. Bishop comments that he never knew what friends he had until this episode, when many reached out to offer him support. He believes he could start his own paper if he wished to do so. He sends warm wishes and gratitude to President and Mrs. Roosevelt for their encouragement and thoughtfulness.
