President Roosevelt says no letter has pleased him more than that of former Attorney General Olney. Roosevelt fully appreciates the burdens placed upon him and his purpose is entirely single: he wants to make a good president and to keep the administration upright and efficient for the benefit of the people. All party considerations are absolutely secondary.
