Theodore Roosevelt looks forward to receiving the song from his sister, Corinne Robinson. He is proud of her poetry, and has heard many compliments about it. He feels that it is all right if Robinson’s son, Theodore Douglas Robinson, does not have a good chance of being elected, as it is a case where the fight itself is one of the prizes.
