Letter from Secretary of Theodore Roosevelt to J. B. Lloyd

On behalf of Theodore Roosevelt, his secretary writes to J. B. Lloyd that he has not seen the articles, but he has seen excerpts that were so “ludicrously false” and dishonest that they “could not possibly deceive any man who was himself both honest and intelligent.” Roosevelt answers legitimate criticisms, but he does not answer certain magazines and articles since doing so would only give them publicity.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Frank M. Chapman
