In response to Congressman Michael E. Driscoll’s request, Father Clune sends his address on President Lincoln to President Roosevelt. He apologizes that his remarks about Roosevelt’s address were not more polished but he had not known that they would be published. Clune admires Roosevelt for putting the interests of the Republic over “political sagacity,” just as Lincoln did.
