Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

The books have arrived and Anna Cabot Mills Davis Lodge is pleased with them. Senator Lodge would have supported free trade with Canada but is concerned with the proposed treaty due to certain concessions to Canada. He is still uncomfortable with the Lorimer case. Lodge is confident that Senator Lorimer’s Senate seat was secured through bribery but the proof that Lorimer had any knowledge of the bribery is extremely weak. In another Senate matter, he is troubled by Governor Wilson’s use of patronage to secure a seat for James Edgar Martine.
