President Roosevelt’s information suggests that the charges against John A. Merritt and Archie Dovell Sanders do not warrant their removal, but he will let James Wolcott Wadsworth know if anything suggests otherwise. He congratulates Wadsworth on his work in the last election. He also assures Wadsworth that he does not take the charges and insinuations against him seriously, but that he cannot appear that he is championing people who oppose Governor Charles Evans Hughes.
