Lucien Hugh Alexander lets Theodore Roosevelt know that the legal ethics report was well received and his recommendation was unanimously adopted by the American Bar Association. Alexander also addresses the conflict between Roosevelt and Mr. Porter, which Alexander believes stems from a “gross misunderstanding” that should be resolved. Alexander points out that with Chief Justice Fuller’s retirement, Roosevelt could have the opportunity to appoint a new Chief Justice, which provides even more impetus for Roosevelt to mend ties with Porter. Alexander will write Roosevelt soon concerning a matter relating to “the great James Wilson.”
