President Roosevelt says that the enclosed letter from Henry C. Burdett is from a “prize fool,” and he has no recollection of him. He feels badly that there does not seem to be anything that can be done for the author Ellen Velvin. He would like Robert Bridges to look into the matter to see if she is truly being “fleeced” by a certain publishing firm.
