Asa P. French has received the letter from William Loeb regarding a will from Benjamin Hadley, where Hadley left a large sum of money to President Roosevelt to be used for charity. French will act as President Roosevelt desires in order to let Hadley’s relatives gain possession of the estate, and says that it is possible that the only thing that will be necessary will be a formal declination of the trust by Roosevelt. He will confer with the legal firm of Warner, Warner & Stackpole, which is managing the estate.
