Theodore Roosevelt writes that Senator Lodge acted rightly in the Taft matter and he should not worry. Roosevelt did not want his friend Cal (probably John Callan O’Laughlin) to promote something Roosevelt would have to deny. Roosevelt thinks Lodge will like his article the following month in which he “goes for the German-Americans.”
