Theodore Roosevelt thanks Millicent Garrett Fawcett for her letter. Roosevelt believes that the Progressive campaign helped women’s suffrage by having women work equally with the men in the campaign. If he had won the presidency, he would have given women positions in the administration, even in his cabinet. He is also amused with the voting trends in suffrage states.
