Theodore Roosevelt enjoyed seeing Alford Warriner Cooley and hopes to see his family and the Fergusons while in New Mexico. He found Cooley’s description of the situation in New Mexico interesting but disagrees with Gifford Pinchot that Secretary of the Interior Richard Achilles Ballinger and President William H. Taft are crooks. Roosevelt comments on the current political situation, including Taft’s renomination. He wants to be perfectly clear that he does not want to be nominated.
