Senator Lodge advises President Roosevelt and Secretary of War William H. Taft to keep quiet about the Brownsville affair until action has been taken by the committee. He believes Senator Joseph Benson Foraker’s speech on the matter has fallen flat. Lodge believes Roosevelt handled the issue of the qualifications of engineer at the Chicago post office well. He was also amused by Roosevelt’s story about himself and Ethel Roosevelt listening to a concert. Finally, Lodge informs Roosevelt that his merger bill has made it through both houses. Henry Melville Whitney publicly opposed the bill, and Lodge believes this will hurt him politically if he runs for reelection.
