Senator Fulton thanks President Roosevelt for the answer to his prior letter, and suggests that Roosevelt may misunderstand his attitude regarding the issue of the Oregon land fraud trials. He seeks to clarify his stance, noting that he does not maintain the innocence of everyone, but rather only spoke on behalf of U.S. Marshal Walter F. Matthews. He has hardly spoken about anyone else involved with the trial, other than a comment about Senator John H. Mitchell.
