President Roosevelt is concerned by Catherine McLean New’s letter. At Republican National Committee Chairman George B. Cortelyou’s request, Roosevelt has already offered the Mexican ambassadorship to someone else because Roosevelt believed Harry S. New was in the Senatorial race. The president asks if the News can come and visit sometime this year because he would like to discuss the situation in greater detail in person.
