Lawrence F. Abbott of the Outlook magazine writes to President Roosevelt with a list of the alleged scandals connected to General Leonard Wood. He then lays out a rebuttal to prove Wood’s innocence. Abbott would like to publish those points to restore Wood’s integrity, but cannot do so unless the president vouches for Wood or provides documentary proof, both of which Abbott asks Roosevelt to provide.
