Percy A. Wells apologizes for the presumption of his previous letter to Theodore Roosevelt, saying that he should have referred Roosevelt to New York Chief Justice Isaac F. Russell to serve as a character reference for him. Wells nevertheless believes the movement he had written about has been successful in stopping hold-ups and robberies.
