President Roosevelt returns Henry Beach Needham’s article. Needham must not quote Roosevelt in any way, as Roosevelt would consider it cheap speaking in that way for publication. Roosevelt also points out phrases Needham attributes to Roosevelt that he has never said. He would rather that Needham not write the article at all.
