Theodore Roosevelt muses about whether he could let a letter from Charles Dwight Willard leak, especially as George G. Hill and British Ambassador James Bryce think highly of it. He appreciated seeing the copy of the letter that Hill sent to Roscoe C. E. Brown, as it allayed his suspicion that the story had been leaked by someone at the White House, which angered him to think about. The Associated Press appears to be creating fake news surrounding Roosevelt, “both by the suppression of the truth and the suggestion of the false.”
