Senator Lodge writes to President Roosevelt about a speech made by Eben S. Draper, Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts and owner of a business that manufactured textile processing machinery, that might have been misreported to Roosevelt. Lodge assures Roosevelt that Draper did not attack him in the speech and that the newspapers have mischaracterized it. He also lets Roosevelt know that there has been no change in the condition of his sister-in-law; the doctors have already given up on her but she is still “hanging on the edge”.
