J. Martin Miller gives William Loeb an account of his dealings with Mae C. Wood. Miller recounts several previous encounters with Wood, and was amazed to read of the “absurd lot of dreams and delusions she put together in the shape of a ‘petition.'” Wood had brought charges against Roosevelt’s secretary William Loeb, and Miller became embroiled with Wood during her divorce proceedings with Senator Thomas Collier Platt.
