Click on image to zoom in
Theodore Roosevelt asks Matthew Hale to check and see if Livingston received his letter. Roosevelt suggests that Charles Sumner Bird run in the Progressive primary instead of the Republican primary. However, Roosevelt does not wish to be an official consultant or else he will be asked to offer advice constantly. The only advice Roosevelt officially has to offer is that while each local community has special needs that deserve to be considered, nationally the country needs to be unified.
