President Roosevelt sends the recipient an enclosure “which explains itself” and shows how important it is to have someone in Washington to keep Congress well informed of actual conditions in the Panama Canal zone. A note at the bottom explains that the enclosure was an offer from the New York Herald to sell newspapers a story, very unfavorable, on the conditions in Panama.
