President Roosevelt had not seen the Charles E. Littlefield speech that John James Jenkins referred to, but knew that Littlefield had put his correspondence with Roosevelt in the Congressional Record. Roosevelt tells Jenkins that he is indifferent to Littlefield’s opinions, as he does not think he is a sincere or intellectually honest person; he believes that Littlefield means to stir up some controversy with him. Roosevelt is confident in Jenkins’s sincerity.
