Theodore Roosevelt has received a “furious” letter from Francis E. McGovern regarding Roosevelt’s support for John J. Blaine. McGovern claims Roosevelt’s standing in Wisconsin has been damaged and Roosevelt countered that he had no standing in Wisconsin to be damaged. Roosevelt hopes that Henry F. Cochems will attend the Progressive Party meeting in Chicago, Illinois. The party must be kept on an “even keel” and kept away from the lunatic fringe, such as Amos Pinchot whom Roosevelt no longer considers a party member. Roosevelt has been enjoying Franklin Aretas Haskell’s account of the Battle of Gettysburg and describes it as a classic.
