William Allen White has not been feeling well and has been traveling between California and Kansas. He says not to trust Frank P. MacLennon, who will claim to be a friend of White’s. White believes that the appointment of Eugene F. Ware took ten years off his life. He tells George B. Cortelyou to “kill any telegram” that he sent in a “thoughtless moment.”
