William Allen White tells President Roosevelt that he will write the article he told Roosevelt about at once. He will never believe that General Leonard Wood is guilty, but he does think Wood should know what is being said about him in the press. White also explains the Kansas political situation to Roosevelt, so that Secretary of War William H. Taft will be most effective in his Kansas speeches. White sends local press clippings to help Taft.
