WHITE HOUSE, WASHINGTON Oyster Bay, N. Y. August 22, 1903. Personal. My dear Mr. Hitchcock: I am surprised that a paper of the former character of the Times should let itself be drawn into such an infamous scheme. But I fear it is symptomatic of the Times' course during the next year or so; that is, until after the Pres- idential election. I never gave the matter a second thought. Do ask Mr. Nagel to call upon me before going back to St. Louis. Get the best man you can to look into the other case. Sincerely yours, Theodore Roosevely Hon. E. A. Hitcheock, Secretary of the Interior, Washington, D. C.
