President Roosevelt is still not sure if he should go to the meeting of the Grand Army of the Republic. While he is sure it would do some good, he also believes it would do more harm. If he spoke to the group, it would be difficult for him to refuse to talk to people associated with labor issues, which he does not want on Labor Day. Roosevelt is pleased that Lodge likes his speech, and asks if Lodge can come to visit him at Oyster Bay.
