Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt writes journalist Eldridge Gerry Dunnell that there was an understanding that speeches from the previous night would not be reported in the newspapers and therefore Roosevelt had spoken more freely. However, a “garbled abstract” of his speech has appeared in the Washington Post. Roosevelt invites Dunnell to visit him the next day at the Commission Rooms.
