Maurice Francis Egan thanks President Roosevelt for the letters he sent and hopes that he made judicious use of them. Egan notes his respect for those in New York City who share his religious faith but also believes that the most zealous “drive us on the rocks of sectarianism.” Egan calls the president’s attention to Senator John M. Gearin of Oregon, a Democrat who counts himself among Roosevelt’s supporters, and closes by mentioning a recent piece by Havelock Ellis that may interest Roosevelt.
