Because of the court ruling, President Roosevelt cannot give George von Lengerke Meyer his most vital evidence. Roosevelt is prepared to have a suit brought against him, which he believes will make Barnes happy. He asks if Meyer noticed that Penrose denied what Roosevelt was told by Meyer in 1904, mainly that the National Committee would make Penrose the chairman. Roosevelt is grateful for what Meyer did.
