R. E. Holloway sends President Roosevelt background information that bears on the character of Laura A. Hull Morris. Holloway indicates that Morris was previously married to J. D. Highleyman (actually Samuel Locke Highleyman). While Mrs. Highleyman, Morris allegedly occupied a sleeper berth on a train with a man who was not her husband. Holloway believes it proper to provide this information in case there is an investigation. He includes names of individuals who will corroborate this story.

William Allen White tells President Roosevelt he has suffered with pneumonia and is taking a trip to the Grand Canyon to recover. He reminds Roosevelt to invite Kansas Representative James M. Miller to White House events. On the topic of the appointment of judges to replace William C. Hook, White discusses the candidacy of William A. Johnston, John C. Pollock, Nelson H. Loomis, and Charles B. Smith. White suggests creating a unified delegation for Kansas, including Charles Curtis, Chester I. Long, Charles F. Scott, Justin De Witt Bowersock, Victor Murdock, and Philip Pitt Campbell. White notes that there is a suspicion of corruption in the Court of Claims, and he asks that if Richard H. Lindsay of the Kansas City Star seeks permission to review documents, Roosevelt give him authorization.
