Theodore Roosevelt takes pleasure in the idea of Elihu Root as a progressive candidate at a political convention. While he remembers Root as skilled in matters of international affairs, Root does not enjoy the same esteem today after how he treated the Progressives during the election of 1912. Roosevelt laments that he was unable to visit with anyone and hopes to see them in New York.
