Although his wife, Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt, will not be able to see Bishop William Lawrence on her way to Groton, President Roosevelt would like to come by Lawrence’s home if he will allow it. Roosevelt asks if Lawrence remembers his critique of Harvard University President Charles William Eliot, who has recently endorsed Representative Samuel W. McCall. McCall, like Richard Olney, is attempting to embarrass the administration without regard to the welfare of the nation, Roosevelt says.
