Representative Gardner does not have the time to speak to Massachusetts Senators Winthrop Murray Crane or Henry Cabot Lodge due to his traveling and speaking schedule in the last days before the election. Gardner will follow Roosevelt’s judgement and not publish the letter, but he regrets the effects of the case on his reputation. Gardner is sure that Charles M. Hoyt will work for the Republican ticket regardless, and that the only candidacy that will be affected is his own.
