Joseph Bucklin Bishop explains why he did not make more of an effort to correct statements in Hayden Talbot’s article about the Panama Canal. Bishop was instructed to ensure that Talbot did not put words in George W. Goethals’s mouth, and did not feel that he could censor Talbot by going further. Bishop will not be able to see Theodore Roosevelt before he sails for Panama, but mentions that his son Farnham is moving to New York to start a literary career and asks if Roosevelt can help him.
