Theodore Roosevelt acknowledges receipt of letters returned to him by John Callan O’Laughlin. The letters are ones Roosevelt previously wrote to O’Laughlin, responding to questions about the William Lorimer case. Roosevelt does not believe the letters should be published because they contain his personal opinions and his report of what various Senators thought, and they were sent to O’Laughlin confidentially. Roosevelt, however, is willing to speak to the Committee if they would like to ask about his actions regarding the Lorimer case.
