Prompted by Senator Benjamin R. Tillman’s rehashing of the Mrs. Morris incident of 1906, Edward MacInall offers his firsthand account of the incident. MacInall, who was in to see William Loeb that day, asserts that Laura A. Hull Morris was “not roughly handled” by the White House Office staff, and lends his support to President Roosevelt against the criticism.
