President Roosevelt appreciates Senator Hanna’s letter explaining the situation surrounding his announcement as a Republican Presidential nominee and is conciliatory toward Hanna’s brief opposition against Roosevelt at the Ohio Convention, commenting on Hanna’s support during Roosevelt’s presidency so far. Roosevelt reminds Hanna that he will be visiting Cleveland with his daughter, Alice, on June 10, and hopes to have a “real talk” about the Panama Canal, financial legislation, and the political situations in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
