Mr. Alfred Henry Lewis,
New York American Office, Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. Lewis:
During the past weeks I have carefully
read your critical articles on the President, his adminis-
tration, his friends and his attitude towards certain pol-
ices and measures.
I have been particularly distressed at the statements
you have made in many of these articles about a very dear
friend of mine, Colonel Edward M. House. You have inti-
mated that Colonel House is a man of great wealth and lives
in a beautiful home in New York. Of course, such must
have been your information. But, as a matter of fact,
Colonel House is a man of very moderate circumstances who
lives in a five-room apartment which he rents from a land-
lord, as most of us do who live in apartments in the City
of New York.
You have intimated, if not said, that he was interested
in Mexico and Mexican securities. Colonel House is not,
and never has been interested in Mexico or Mexican affairs
and has never in his life visited Mexico. Moreover, he
holds no Mexican securities of any kind, directly or in-
directly, and has never held any such securities. You
have also stated that, if not intimate with, he is at
least on terms of understanding with gentlemen of large
business affairs and high finance, such as J. Pierpont
Morgan, James J. Hill, Thomas F. Ryan and others.
