President Roosevelt thanks Homer Royce Noble for the letter and maple syrup. He notes that he is trying to represent the Republican party the way Abraham Lincoln represented it. Roosevelt believes that if Secretary of War William H. Taft is elected, he will also represent the party that way. Roosevelt agrees with Noble’s assessment that the policies he champions will “work no ill to anyone,” including those who benefit from the railroad combinations.
