Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William H. Taft
President Roosevelt informs Secretary of War Taft that he hopes Maria Longworth Storer quits her professional sectarian business or gets Bellamy Storer to leave public life and affirms that Taft is right in paying her no attention. Maria Storer’s meddling makes Roosevelt uncomfortable during the Merry del Val business, and mentions that the death of Archbishop Giovanni Battista Guidi gives Taft even more reason to write. Roosevelt wishes Taft would lay it before George B. Cortelyou. Roosevelt is returning Smith’s letter and enclosing a letter to him.
