President Roosevelt thinks that William H. Taft is correct, and is glad that they have spoken to Frank B. Kellogg and William L. Ward, as it appears that Frank H. Hitchcock is becoming the favorite. Roosevelt believes Hitchcock will be a very good choice to help run Taft’s campaign. Roosevelt also responds to a letter from Taft regarding Frank Maximilian Steinhart, and comments on some business involving telephones.
