Alfred Henry Lewis forwards a letter to President Roosevelt which he thinks Roosevelt should see. Lewis was invited to Santa Fe, New Mexico, by some lawyers whose clients remain anonymous, to report on the resignation of former Governor Herbert J. Hagerman. Lewis informed the lawyer, Francis Woodbridge, that he would not criticize Roosevelt or his acts in the press. Lewis concludes that the anonymous, wealthy men trying to hire him are the type of people who would be asking for political favors from Roosevelt; therefore, Lewis thought it worthwhile to inform Roosevelt of the situation.
