President Roosevelt asks Albert Shaw to withdraw a previous letter he wrote, in which Shaw attributed to Roosevelt a comment comparing the candidates for governor of Missouri. Roosevelt wishes to make clear that he could not have made such a comment, as he knows neither candidate, and would of course support the Republican ticket in Missouri. He hopes that Shaw may be able to come visit early in the next week.
