William H. Taft has received the letters that President Roosevelt forwarded from United States Representative William Kent, who he thinks is a bit of a crank. Taft was not entirely comfortable with J. Pierpont Morgan being praised at Yale’s commencement speech, but does not attach the same weight to it that Kent does, and does not think there was a conspiracy to make Taft appear as a reactionary.
