President Roosevelt tells Reverend Belford that he agrees with the sentiment in his recent letter, and asks to let the matter drop. Roosevelt stands by the statements made in his letters, and does not vouch for recently-dismissed ambassador Bellamy Storer and his wife Maria Longworth Storer’s remembrances of what the president has said.
