Theodore Roosevelt advises Harriet Gaylord against writing to the editor of the National Review. The editor shows a clear lack of comprehension, as it has only been requested that he not lie about President Wilson. Roosevelt believes it is a mistake to write to Englishmen on such matters as it gives the impression that for domestic reasons Gaylord wants the English to oppose Wilson.
