The Ghent, Belgium, consulship went to an Ohio man and James W. Gleed would like Stuart Henry considered as consul in Genoa, Italy. Gleed read William Allen White’s article on President Roosevelt. Many people are supporting Cyrus Leland based on White’s theory. At the end of page 2, White seems to have forwarded the letter on to President Roosevelt, with a note to read carefully the underscored words. White will be happy to give Roosevelt the facts about the suit mentioned if he wishes.
