President Roosevelt tells Holmes Conrad that he had never heard of the matter prior to receiving his letter. Roosevelt notes that Luke E. Wright is now ambassador to Japan, and had nothing to do with the situation since he accepted the position. Roosevelt says he will forward Conrad’s concern to Secretary of War William H. Taft, and reiterates his lack of knowledge on the topic and apologizes if Conrad is disappointed.
