President Roosevelt thanks Thomas William Lawson for his support, but complains of inaccurate reporting about his political support, or lack thereof, for John Edward Charles O’Sullivan Addicks. Roosevelt complains that a correspondent associated with Lawson lied that Roosevelt actively campaigned for and supported Addicks, and explains that he has only ever seen Addicks three times, as he has met many politicians.
