Theodore Roosevelt wishes he could have seen Ted’s speech in church so it was nice to hear about it in the letter. It would have been nice to have seen Eleanor, Mrs. Alexander, and Fair. Roosevelt asks that Ted thank Mrs. Alexander for her letters. He notes that his predictions for the next election are the same as Ted’s, believing that Taft will get the nomination because La Follette is falling behind. Roosevelt also expresses relief that his speech-making days are done and closes with the promise of a pamphlet on bird and mammal coloration, as Roosevelt is waiting on its delivery from the American Museum.
