Senator Lodge found President Roosevelt’s Springfield speech admirable and believes it will be helpful within the business community. Lodge sends a speech he made in Greenfield, Massachusetts. He understands that Roosevelt cannot attend the dedication of the McKinley statue in Adams, Massachusetts but warns that others will ask Roosevelt to attend. Finally, Lodge suggests that Roosevelt thank the Boston and Maine Railroad for having an engine ready for Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt’s use when Ted Roosevelt was ill.
