J. Alden Loring sends Theodore Roosevelt samples of the letters and questions characteristic of those he receives after a lecture. Loring would like to know if he should continue to deny the reports of Roosevelt being a “heavy drinker, profane to the limit, selfish, egotistical,” who is known to use “exceptional language” against his “enemies.” If Roosevelt approves, Loring will write a statement, and forward it to Roosevelt for his approval.
