President Roosevelt informs Representative Loudenslager that his and Representative J. S. Sherman’s proposal is a repetition of what he has already written in the letter. Roosevelt believes that their objection revolves around his addressing two subjects in the letter that perhaps should not be combined, and therefore thinks he will split the letter into two different letters.
