President Roosevelt sends Senator Lodge copies of letters between himself and Augustus Peabody Gardner, and says that while he is willing to have the letter be published, he thinks it should wait until after the election. He is looking forward to being finished with his current political campaign, and remarks on some of the rumors that have been circulating, as well as polling figures for several states. Roosevelt was recently injured while riding his horse, but was able to avoid mention of it in the press.
