President Roosevelt reassures Harvard President Eliot that he did not believe Eliot’s report was an answer to his speech. Roosevelt asks Eliot to bring Edgar Huidekoper Wells with him to Washington, D.C., so they can meet others and talk. The two men “are not as far apart as people believe as regards athletics.” Eliot will agree with Roosevelt on the Brownsville affair once he knows more.
