Senator Lodge writes President Roosevelt regarding Oliver Wendell Holmes’s possible appointment to the Supreme Court. Lodge will meet with Holmes to determine whether he fully supports the President’s position, before sending him to meet with Roosevelt. Lodge does not like the looks of things in Wisconsin, but believes things are going well elsewhere. He will go on the Committee of Resolutions to make sure “the Philippines, Cuba & you are properly sustained.”
