Senator Lodge explains that he did not object to President Roosevelt having his own letter published in the press but that he was concerned about Roosevelt publishing Representative Gardner’s letter. Lodge answers questions posed by Roosevelt in a previous letter. Lodge does not know why a plan to have a second squadron of battleships, to be commanded by a friend of his, has been eliminated by the Navy. He asks to have a meeting to discuss a treaty as it is too complicated for a letter.
