President Roosevelt tells Lindsay Denison that he is getting annoyed by both Theodore P. Shonts and John F. Stevens. Regardless whether there is a single point that Denison got wrong in his article about the Panama Canal, both Shonts and Stevens should see that the article is very good, and the effect it has had is admirable.

Letter from Benjamin B. Hampton to Lindsay Denison

Letter from Benjamin B. Hampton to Lindsay Denison

Benjamin B. Hampton explains to Lindsay Denison his recent remarks in further detail. Hampton believes it would be better for President Roosevelt to deal with the tobacco companies directly, rather than through the courts, since it would be faster and potentially more beneficial for both parties. Hampton stresses that he is not well-versed in law or in a position to speak on behalf of the tobacco industry, although he is an advertiser for the American Tobacco Company. Hampton invites Denison to consider the shortcomings of his proposal and to enlighten him as to why it might be ill-conceived.
