Henry V. Boynton writes to present the facts regarding an incident between President Roosevelt and General Nelson Appleton Miles, which gave rise to the report that the President treated the General discourteously. Boynton describes the incident, noting that more than a dozen gentlemen witnessed the conversation between the two in the reception room at the White House, and that the charge of rudeness on the part of the President was entirely without foundation.
