On behalf of Theodore Roosevelt, his secretary thanks N. E. Dawson for his letter and tells him that Roosevelt is interested in what he wrote. He denies the request to make Roosevelt’s notes public as “the translation of one man’s notes by another man would naturally mean that the notes would not correctly be transcribed and in any event the exact wording would probably be impossible to obtain as Mr. Roosevelt and others often make changes after notes have been transcribed.” He also notes that it would be “improper to make public the notes of a stenographer which are naturally given to him in the strictest confidence.”
