George D. Wardrop passes a message from Boy Scout leader James E. West along to Frank Harper, informing him that the Boy Scouts who will meet Theodore Roosevelt at New Orleans, Louisiana, “belong to what is known as the Hearst Boy Scouts.” If Roosevelt wishes to address the boys, Wardrop asks Harper to warn him about this so that he won’t say anything that will be used by the newspapers.
