Theodore Roosevelt perceives a threat in T. Augustine Dwyer’s most recent communication. To defend himself, Roosevelt gives Dwyer permission to publish every letter he has ever received from Roosevelt. Roosevelt has heard that Dwyer has made statements to the effect that he received money from Roosevelt and William Loeb to travel to various countries as a missionary, which is not true. Neither Roosevelt nor Loeb ever gave money to Dwyer, though Roosevelt is aware that Dwyer was paid by the National Republican Campaign Committee for an article he wrote about Roosevelt’s administration that was widely circulated during the campaign. This payment was, however, comparable to other payments made to individuals who had written for, or worked on, the campaign.
