Letter from David B. Hoffer to Theodore Roosevelt
David B. Hoffer shares with President Roosevelt the prediction he made when President-Elect William H. Taft began his world tour. Hoffer predicted that Taft would be elected president, win a second term, and that after Taft finished two terms the people would insist that Roosevelt sit for another term. Hoffer’s fourth son, James D. Hoffer, turned twenty-one in November 1908 and all five Hoffer men voted for Taft. Hoffer would highly appreciate a signed letter from in Roosevelt in return.
