Thomas St. John Gaffney writes to President Roosevelt about an enclosure regarding the Consul General of Italy. Gaffney spoke with Collier’s Weekly owner, Peter Fenelon Collier, about Norman Hapgood’s editorials. Collier reassured Gaffney that the paper supports Roosevelt and Collier will speak with Hapgood about supporting the President in his editorials so there is no doubt as to how the newspaper stands. Gaffney also mentions a reception for Cardinal Satolli; his plans for the Chicago convention; and Archbishop Ireland meeting him before the event. Gaffney reminds the President to speak with Monsignor O’Connell.
