President Roosevelt informs Lee Mantle that the letter Roosevelt purportedly wrote to Michael Donnelly, a letter published in Miners Magazine, is an “absurd and impudent forgery.” Roosevelt has requested that Donnelly submit the letter, if it even exists, to the district attorney in Chicago so that the forger can be pursued and punished.
