President Roosevelt explains to William Dudley Foulke that he cannot “be drawn into any discussion” into the situation of Francis Augustus MacNutt. He did not give Ambassador B. Storer or Maria Longworth Storer any information “which was not generally known.” He encloses Mrs. Storer’s letter, which asks for information that would exclude MacNutt from Papal service.
