Henry White recounts an encounter with Chief Justice Edward Douglass White to whom he conveyed a message from Theodore Roosevelt on the recent Standard Oil decision. He shares the chief justice’s thoughts on the case before confiding in Roosevelt the details of a conversation with President Taft on “the situation in Canada” and difficulty the president is having with the two senators from Rhode Island. He closes with an inquiry as to whether he can stay with the Roosevelts in Oyster Bay before departing on a trip to Europe in June.
