Theodore Roosevelt tells Judge Thomas Goode Jones that what Governor B. B. Comer said is true, and he did not make any statement of disappointment in Jones’s decision about the injunction. Likewise he knows Jones did not say in an interview last year, that Roosevelt had told Jones that Comer maligned or made statements about Jones to Roosevelt. Roosevelt writes only to ask Jones to be careful his name is not brought into any public controversies. Two copies included, one slightly edited.
