Theodore Roosevelt asks John Callan O’Laughlin to return letters or copies of letters Roosevelt wrote to O’Laughlin. Roosevelt believes private and confidential letters between him and O’Laughlin should not be published. Roosevelt does not object to his personal opinions about William Lorimer or Albert J. Beveridge being made public, but not what he said “as to the attitude of other men about [them].” What Roosevelt said to Elihu Root and Henry Cabot Lodge ought to be obtained from Root and Lodge, not from O’Laughlin. Roosevelt is greatly interested in the presidential nominations and O’Laughlin’s views “as to the outcome of [Roosevelt’s] position.” Roosevelt is amused by John T. McCutcheon’s cartoon.
