Senator Lodge writes President Roosevelt on behalf of his friend Hayes. Hayes wrote Roosevelt about his speech at Harvard and also encloses a speech he had given about Roosevelt. Lodge assures Roosevelt that Hayes is not seeking an office, as he turned down a position Lodge had offered. However, Hayes would like to do public work, and Lodge inquires if Roosevelt might have a position available connected to the Panama Canal. Lodge tells Roosevelt that all is well at home and that the baby has not arrived yet. Lodge and Anna Cabot Mills Davis send their love to Roosevelt and Edith Roosevelt.
