Secretary of War Taft has received the enclosure about John Mitchell, and is sorry about it. He spoke with Arthur I. Vorys, and it appears that there was a misunderstanding about Mitchell, which Vorys regretted. Taft does not believe that the information could have gotten out through Vorys, and encloses a letter from Mitchell addressing the situation.
