President Roosevelt tells Senator William B. Allison that there is no reason Allison should not publish the previous letter that Roosevelt sent to him. He did not think it was wise to write explicitly for publication before the result of the Iowa primary. Roosevelt has been concerned by the division in Iowa, but has been on good terms with both Senators Allison and Jonathan P. Dolliver, as well as Governor Albert Baird Cummins.
