I. K. Russell recalls Theodore Roosevelt mentioning his willingness to remark upon the Mormon situation, and a letter Roosevelt wrote that could give Russell the opportunity to make Roosevelt’s opinions public. Russell has enclosed an amended version of Roosevelt’s letter, omitting several personal names upon Roosevelt’s request. If Roosevelt does not object, Russell plans to send the letter to B. H. Roberts, a historian of the Mormon Church who frequently writes in defense of the church.
