Senator Lodge discusses not taking Mr. Bloomfield on his trip though he knows how much the settlement work Bloomfield does appeals to President Roosevelt. Lodge likes that Bloomfield’s people support Roosevelt for the 1904 election, as if he loses his Senate seat, he is counting on a Cabinet post. Lodge also reports to Roosevelt the advice he has given to Judge Holmes as he waits to be confirmed for the Supreme Court.
