President Theodore Roosevelt seeks input on a letter to Captain William E. English. Roosevelt could not go to the Spanish War Veterans’ encampment. Roosevelt is glad to hear what Chairman James Putnam Goodrich of the Republican State Committee told him about Indiana and the election. In New York, they should win as well, even though there is debate over the governorship.
