Theodore Roosevelt believes Charles William Anderson would be “a particularly good man to handle the colored voters in this campaign.” He asks Anderson to write a letter, via Mr. Satterlee, expressing his support for Charles Evans Hughes with reasons as to why he feels he would be good for the job. Upon receipt of the letter, Roosevelt will write a letter of recommendation and put it before William R. Willcox.
