Letter from Secretary of Theodore Roosevelt to J. Alden Loring

Letter from Secretary of Theodore Roosevelt to J. Alden Loring

Due to Theodore Roosevelt’s absence, his secretary acknowledges the receipt of J. Alden Loring’s letter. Harper encourages Loring to respond to letters and deny false reports regarding Roosevelt. He does not believe that a public letter is required as several individuals have already publicly supported Roosevelt in print. If after reading these letters of support, the secretary asks that Loring send any similar letter to him to ask Roosevelt’s opinion of it since they want to be careful not to “deny over much” and lead people to believe there is any basis for the falsehoods.
