President Roosevelt thanks Robert J. Collier for his letter. He quotes a portion of a letter from Albert Shaw that clears up some of the situation surrounding the controversy with the Missouri election. Roosevelt also comments on the way that Mr. Adams may have used the supposed comments, dismissing him as dishonest, using Adams’s former comments on Delaware appointments as an example where he was completely inaccurate.
