Senator Lodge thanks President Roosevelt for writing a second letter to George L. Cain, even though the statement concerning the Navy Yard seems to be conclusive. Lodge notes that Henry M. Whitney and Eugene N. Foss have raised a large amount of money and that their reciprocity campaign is directed against him. Lodge believes Roosevelt is right about Chase. He also mentions that “the friends of liberty and the Filipinos held a meeting…with Burke Cochran…as the start performer” and that “Charles Adams said the most dangerous trust was the Senatorial trust.”
