President Roosevelt thanks Senator Lodge for sending the piece from Baron F. A. Channing, which he will quote. It is apparent that Roosevelt’s Provincetown speech did not make matters worse, as the Sun, Times, and Evening Post had said it would. An expert has recently confirmed for Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt that only Grace Wilson Vanderbilt and Senator John Kean have comparable Madeira cellars. Roosevelt also includes a quote from Secretary of War William H. Taft praising Lodge’s speech.
