Timothy L. Woodruff acknowledges receipt of a letter from William Barnes and tells William Loeb that he will not speak on President Roosevelt’s behalf unless directed. Woodruff believes that at least 30 of the 38 members of the committee will support not adopting a resolution of endorsement for any presidential candidate. He includes a draft of what he would say to forego endorsement and asks for Loeb’s critique.
