Richard Watson Gilder informs President Roosevelt that he has told William Garrott Brown that Roosevelt felt he was unjust in his reference to his administration’s actions regarding the South. Brown regrets this and wishes to be “put right.” He wants Roosevelt’s specific objections to the article. Although Brown is not a Republican, Gilder says that he thinks it is good for the country if the South is not “solid” and was active in the campaign.
