President Roosevelt thanks Rudyard Kipling for sending him a collection of stories, and offers some of his thoughts on his recent political campaign. Roosevelt acknowledges that, while he holds his actions as having been the correct ones to take, there are may people who disagree with him, particularly regarding the Philippines, Panama, and his dealing with the railroads and the trusts. Regardless of the outcome of the election, Roosevelt feels that he has “had a first class run for [his] money, and [he has] accomplished certain definite things.”
