S. S. McClure encloses Pastor Charles Wagner’s article about his visit to the White House and Ida Tarbell’s paper on Rockefeller. McClure wants to publish an article about Roosevelt’s first term in the October issue. McClure would like to publish an article explaining Roosevelt’s “Paul Morton letter.” Morton was Second Vice-President of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway System. McClure discusses his recent trip to Ohio, Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, and Wisconsin, and the time he spent with Missouri Governor Joseph Folk, whose leadership he praises. In the letter’s postscript, McClure asks that Edith Roosevelt look over the “conversation part” of the article concerning Wagner’s visit to the White House.
