President Roosevelt has received Collier’s Weekly journalist Mark Sullivan’s letter and encloses a copy of his letter responding to Henry T. Rodman and his article about Roosevelt. Roosevelt says that the value of an article like Rodman’s comes from people understanding that he took no part in writing it. To publish the article alongside Roosevelt’s letter would create the impression that Roosevelt had a role in the creation of the article. He does like the idea of Henry Beach Needham’s article and looks forward to seeing Sullivan and his wife, Marie McMechen Buchanan Sullivan, at the Army and Navy reception.

Mark Sullivan thanks President Roosevelt for the surprise he gave him in sending the second draft of an upcoming address. Sullivan is sure that the speech will one day be regarded as of high a quality as Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, and has shown it–in confidence–to Norman Hapgood, editor of Collier’s Weekly, who agrees about the high quality of the address. Sullivan would like to play up the speech at the time it is made, giving it a special printing in Collier’s, and would like to discuss this idea with Roosevelt further. He wishes Roosevelt and his family a very pleasant Christmas.
