Charles Emory Smith thanks President Roosevelt for a previous letter. Smith does not agree with the way the Associated Press dealt with Postmaster General Henry C. Payne, including issuing the Joseph L. Bristow letters to the public the previous week. Smith has decided it is necessary for him to personally present the matter in the appropriate light. Smith includes a copy of the article he has written for Roosevelt’s judgment. Smith proposes a meeting with Roosevelt when he is in Washington, D.C., later that week.
