President Roosevelt thanks Michael Walsh for his actions but wishes he had received more assistance. He has sent Walsh’s letter to Richard V. Oulahan, chairman of the literary committee for the Republican National Committee, and urged him to do everything he can. Walsh’s work should be encouraged, not neglected.
