President Roosevelt thanks Newbold T. Lawrence and the board of governors of the Rockaway Hunting Club for their action. Until Lawrence contacted him, Roosevelt did not know that the New York Sun had made an attack on him or the club. However, the newspaper has become so disreputable that such an attack could be expected, and it should not surprise or discomfit him or anyone associated with the club.
