In response to a published statement by New York District Attorney Jerome, President Roosevelt wishes to make it clear to Jerome that he did not authorize the use of his picture or approve the article in Fads and Fancies. William Loeb looked in the Oyster Bay files for Roosevelt and found a letter from Judge Joseph M. Deuel to Loeb, requesting a photograph that Deuel gave the false impression of being approved by Roosevelt by Kate Phelan Hampton. Roosevelt was never informed of Loeb and Deuel’s correspondence and even sent back a copy of the book that William D’Alton Mann sent to him.

Deuel, and William Travers Jerome. La Farge is keeping it because she is having dinner with Jerome soon.
