Surveyor of Customs Clarkson encloses a letter from the Mormon leader John Henry Smith, which he believes is genuine. Smith met President Roosevelt in the tabernacle the last time he was in Salt Lake City, and began working for the Republican cause the next day. Although Smith is sympathetic to the Republican cause, Clarkson advises William Loeb that any response to Smith should be “careful while cordial.”
