William Williams Keen would like Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott to use his influence to get President Roosevelt to withdraw his support for industrialist and Delaware senate candidate John Charles Edward O’Sullivan Addicks. Keen knows Addicks and his family intimately, and believes defeating him is a matter of national importance due to his being tainted socially. Keen would prefer to keep his involvement in this confidential.
