Lyman Abbott responds to a letter from William W. Keen expressing concern about John Edward Addicks’s influence on Delaware politics. Abbott defends President Roosevelt for not interfering in Republican Party disputes at the state level. Abbott is concerned, however, that recent appointments, along with unfavorable press, make it look as though Roosevelt is working with Addicks.
