President Roosevelt expresses his pleasure upon hearing that editor Thomas F. Woodlock of the Wall Street Journal likes his letter officially accepting the nomination of the Republican Party for the 1904 presidential election. Roosevelt says that Woodlock’s was the first such letter received, arriving at the same time as that of Frank Knox of the Manchester Leader. Roosevelt asks Woodlock to pass his thanks on to Sereno Stansbury Pratt, another editor at the Wall Street Journal.
