Nicholas Longworth expresses to Theodore Roosevelt his concern over recent news that Roosevelt has accepted an invitation to dine with Robert J. Collier. He inquires if there is any foundation for the story, and explains that Collier “is the vilest muckraking sheet in the country,” having criticized both President Taft and Longworth himself. Longworth also worries that a letter from Roosevelt has fallen into the hands of some publication, as he has not received it a week after it was sent.
