John H. Stokes, manager of the Portner, provides a statement regarding Mrs. Minor Morris who, with her husband, was his tenant during the winter of 1902-1903. Stokes found Mrs. Morris to be “a very difficult woman to deal with.” He released the Morrises from their lease before its term was up because “her conduct finally became so unbearable.” Based on his knowledge of her, Stokes is not surprised at her having had to be removed from the White House by security officers.
