William H. Taft warns President Roosevelt that Bellamy and Maria Longworth Storer are about to descend on him. While Taft likes Mrs. Storer and thinks her an admirable woman, she is indiscreet. Taft will be giving an address at Notre Dame University in October, but if the President thinks it unwise, politically, for Taft to speak at a Catholic university, he will postpone until after the election.
