President Roosevelt hopes to speak with Howard Richards soon, and if he is able to, will gladly write an article for The Outlook based on Lyman Abbott’s considerations. While he did not appreciate Woodrow Wilson’s standings on recent issues, Roosevelt feels the quote from his book “is a really first class piece.” Roosevelt will inquire if the federal government has the power to act in the case mentioned by Abbott’s son’s brother-in-law.
