Theodore Roosevelt does not think that Hamilton Fish II needs to reply to William R. McCredie’s letter. Roosevelt responds to Herbert Parson’s letter to Fish, in that Roosevelt never wanted personal loyalty from Parsons, but wanted him to act honestly at the Republican National Convention. Roosevelt believes that the William H. Taft delegates were wrongfully seated.
