President Roosevelt has taken Senator Beveridge’s advice and has authorized the publication of his letter to Representative James Wolcott Wadsworth. Roosevelt also asks Beveridge to clarify to the press that in his upcoming Fourth of July speech, Beveridge will not be speaking for Roosevelt, and Roosevelt has neither seen nor approved of his speech. Roosevelt does not wish to make this clarification himself, as it would appear he is trying to distance himself from Beveridge, which is not the case. In a handwritten postscript, Roosevelt informs Beveridge that he has decided to not publish the letter, as he communicated with Wadsworth and discovered that there had been an error either in his own statement or Beveridge’s representation of it.
