Theodore Roosevelt is doing all he can against the Ship Purchase Bill, and he believes President Wilson is the worst president since President Buchanan, not excepting President Andrew Johnson. Roosevelt says William Roscoe Thayer can use anything he has said about John Hay, as long as he is allowed to look it over first. Roosevelt is looking forward to Thayer’s visit and also enjoyed his article in Harper’s.
