Jacob A Riis informs President Roosevelt that Charles Ransom Miller, the editor of the New York Times, invited him to publish a response to the recent attacks on Roosevelt. As they have claimed no credit, and have offered to let the piece be reviewed before it is printed, this invitation from the “enemy’s camp” is intriguing. He can come see Roosevelt in Washington to discuss it, and will come prepared with talking points.
