Theodore Roosevelt has decided that it would be better for him to take the letter books to the committee. William Loeb can submit copies and should travel to Oyster Bay, New York, to find and examine the letter books. Loeb should not copy the letters from Frank B. Kellogg related to political contributions from the Standard Oil Company. Roosevelt will submit these letters himself. Roosevelt does not believe that Loeb was present at the John D. Archbold interviews but he was present during the Edward Henry Harriman interview. He recalls Harriman requesting funds from the National Committee for Mr. Higgins’s election, as well as requesting that Chauncey M. Depew be appointed Ambassador to France. Roosevelt asks if Loeb’s recollection of the meeting is similar.
