President Roosevelt is glad Alice Roosevelt Longworth is feeling better. He agrees that the political conditions in Ohio hurt the presidential campaign of Secretary of War William H. Taft. However, he believes Taft will likely still be nominated, but it will take careful action. As such, while he prefers Taft succeed him, Roosevelt will not openly declare his support. Besides Cleveland, the election results were good, and he enjoyed his hunting trip down the Mississippi.
