Theodore Roosevelt appreciates John P. Whitman’s letter but feels it inappropriate to write the letter to his brother, Russell R. Whitman, as requested. He suggests they meet at a club the next time they are both in New York to discuss the matter further. Roosevelt condemns much of William Randolph Hearst and his papers but finds him less loathsome than some of the other editors of New York newspapers.
