Theodore Roosevelt informs Francis R. Horel that there is no truth to the accusations that Roosevelt was drinking during his visit to Portland, Oregon. He will not investigate this gossip, unless someone who heard it writes to him and the gossipers are prominent men. As far as Roosevelt can remember, the last time he drank was when he visited Los Angeles.
