Although President Roosevelt is always glad to hear from former Rough Riders, he tells William A. Mitchell that he cannot put any more members of the regiment in office without local backing. He advises Mitchell to find a place where there is a vacancy, secure local backing, and then, if it is a position in Texas, consult Cecil Andrew Lyon.
