President Roosevelt asks Charles Emory Smith if the enclosed letter to Attorney General William H. Moody covers Judge Hosea Townsend’s case. Smith should tell his friends that, like in Alice Through the Looking-Glass, “what the President tells them three times is true–and I have said this thirty times three.”
