President Roosevelt thanks Melville Elijah Stone for the letter of explanation but believes that if Elmer E. Paine is replaced as a reporter in the White House before the Senate votes to confirm Benjamin F. Barnes’s nomination, it will be difficult to convince people that the change was not made because of the Mrs. Morris incident earlier in the year. If Stone still feels that Paine should be replaced, Roosevelt suggests waiting a few weeks before taking action.
