Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Richard R. Quay
Theodore Roosevelt denies making statements describing Richard R. Quay as a coward for showing Senator Boies Penrose a personal letter Roosevelt sent to Quay. Penrose was shown the letter and challenged Roosevelt to publish it. Roosevelt regrets that Penrose saw the letter but is willing to have it published. He claims to have done no wrong to Quay but to have been wronged when Quay referred publicly to a private letter.
