E. Mont Reily thanks Theodore Roosevelt for the letter and advice, and understands how Roosevelt feels about the situation. He may decide to attend the luncheon at John Hays Hammond’s house, but hopes to be able to speak with Roosevelt first, and will report on the proceedings to him. Reily illustrates a point he made in his previous letter that President William H. Taft is in a worse position than Benjamin Harrison was when seeking reelection by sharing a conversation in which a Taft appointee opined that the election was hopeless unless Roosevelt was the nominee.
