Theodore Roosevelt informs Langdon P. Marvin that he is pleased to hear the elephant head has not been removed from Harvard Hall. Roosevelt is equally pleased to learn that Marvin voted for Henry L. Stimson for New York governor. He had heard a rumor that Marvin supported William Barnes. Roosevelt is sorry he cannot attend the Harvard Club of New York City’s dinner this year but plans to come next year.
