President Roosevelt tells Richard Henry Dana that the telegram that he sent to Harvard President Charles William Eliot was supposed to be private, and that it was accidentally published by someone in Eliot’s office. Whoever did this publishing, Roosevelt says, is guilty of a worse crime than either Sidney W. Fish or Charles C. Morgan.
