Francis J. A. Darr writes to President Roosevelt to make amends for a mistake he made years ago concerning his belief that Laura A. Hull Morris had suffered after her treatment at the White House. Morris recently visited the Darr’s after being in the asylum and he now believes her to be insane. Darr has materials that could be used to prove this and would offer them up if needed. He has heard she is stirring up press and has even been in touch with Ohio Senator Joseph Benson Foraker.
