Telegram from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Gardner, Augustus Peabody, 1865-1918, Letters, Missouri, Presidents--Election, Press and politics

Senator Lodge agrees that publishing President Roosevelt’s letter on a recent matter related to Representative Augustus Peabody Gardner is best, even if it seems that the matter is nearly settled. Lodge asks that Roosevelt not release Gardner’s letter on the matter, as Gardner had intended it to be a private letter about a public matter. Lodge concludes with congratulations on the election results, noting the surprising win in Missouri.
