Letter from Martha Macomb Flandrau Selmes to Theodore Roosevelt

Martha Macomb Flandrau Selmes has heard about Secretary of War William H. Taft’s nomination as Republican candidate for President, and is glad that President Roosevelt has secured his legacy. Selmes has received a letter from Walter Howard Loving, leader of the Manila Constabulary band, and asks if there is any way that his wish for his band to play at the presidential inauguration could be fulfilled. She praises Loving highly, and says that allowing this could help race relations, both with African-Americans in the United States, but also regarding the Philippines and Filipinos.
