President Roosevelt had already read both articles that Edgar J. Rich sent him, and was struck by what they said. Roosevelt wrote a memorandum concerning the second of the articles, and encloses a copy for Rich to read, although he asks that Rich send it back, as he is not sure how he will use it. Roosevelt asks if Rich knows the address of James O. Fagan, and wonders if he could get him to come to Washington D.C. for an interview. If Fagan is willing, Roosevelt would work with Representative Charles Patrick Neill to pay Fagan’s expenses.
