Letter from John Campbell Greenway to Theodore Roosevelt

John Campbell Greenway welcomes Theodore Roosevelt back home and hopes to hear about his South American trip.

The Progressive Party in Arizona has refused to return to the Republican Party. Greenway suggests that public sentiment will once again force Roosevelt to run for president as the Progressive, and maybe the Republican, candidate.
