Senator Lodge has just returned from Senator McMillan’s funeral. He tells President Roosevelt that it is too bad he will need to make appearances in Lynn and Boston but that he will be expected to speak for only a short amount of time. Lodge is pleased with the Forbes situation and also with the enthusiasm being shown the appointment of Judge Holmes.
