Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William J. Scott
Theodore Roosevelt states that a story brought to his attention by William J. Scott is a “pure lie.” To Roosevelt’s knowledge, no affidavits of his have been destroyed – certainly none made by Elihu Root – and the New York affidavit produced during the gubernatorial campaign has already been discussed and dropped by Roosevelt’s opponents.
