President Roosevelt has received Collier’s Weekly journalist Mark Sullivan’s letter and encloses a copy of his letter responding to Henry T. Rodman and his article about Roosevelt. Roosevelt says that the value of an article like Rodman’s comes from people understanding that he took no part in writing it. To publish the article alongside Roosevelt’s letter would create the impression that Roosevelt had a role in the creation of the article. He does like the idea of Henry Beach Needham’s article and looks forward to seeing Sullivan and his wife, Marie McMechen Buchanan Sullivan, at the Army and Navy reception.
