Lawrence F. Abbott sends President Roosevelt a defensive explanation of an editorial that appeared in The Outlook about Roosevelt’s “Muck Rake” speech. Roosevelt had written two letters to Abbott’s father expressing his displeasure with the editorial. Since Abbott’s father was away in New England, Abbott explains his view that Roosevelt’s address was “courageous, significant and far-reaching.”
