President Roosevelt promises to do nothing about “the squadron matter” until he hears back from Senator Lodge. He updates Lodge on the situation with Massachusetts Representative Augustus Peabody Gardner, and says that he gave his permission to publish a letter, although he is not sure what good it will do. In a handwritten portion, Roosevelt notes that Curtis Guild sent him “a frantic telegram about an utterly unimportant matter,” and that he asked Guild to speak with Lodge about it.
