After receiving letters from Albert Shaw and his secretary, President Roosevelt believes the misunderstanding about his statements regarding Missouri gubernatorial candidates Joseph Wingate Folk and Cyrus Packard Walbridge was due to a “mere matter of terminology.” Ultimately, Roosevelt is tired of answering “all kinds of people on all kinds of subjects about which they really have no right to information.”
