Advertising Manager William F. Rogers informs Frank Basil Tracy that the New England Gas & Coke Company was not fake, nor was its advertisement in the Boston Evening Transcript. Rogers denounces Perley B. Doe’s claims as the unimportant “wail” of one who had a grievance with the company and even suspects it is a false name. In bringing forth Doe’s claims, Rogers does not accuse Theodore Roosevelt of overstepping.
