Theodore Roosevelt informs Hugh Gordon Miller that he is correct that Roosevelt is not running for mayor. Roosevelt is also pleased with Miller’s statement about the “Wickersham – New York, New Haven and Hartford” matter. Roosevelt had given the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad “permission” to buy a line of steamships to prevent Charlie Morse from having a monopoly. This in no way affects the actions of President William H. Taft.
