President Roosevelt sends his greetings to Senator Lodge on his return from the successful Alaska boundary negotiations. Roosevelt needs Lodge’s assistance in the Massachusetts campaign, where William Alexander Gaston and Richard Olney have been attacking Roosevelt “savagely.” Olney is attacking Roosevelt for the Post Office scandals, despite the fact that they began under the administration of which Olney was a part. Roosevelt sends love to Lodge’s wife Nannie, and congratulates him on his new grandson, John Davis Lodge.
