Theodore Roosevelt will not be attending the reunion or he would visit Jefferson City, Missouri. Roosevelt looks forward to seeing Governor Hadley in Oyster Bay, New York. Roosevelt agrees that Governor Willson is a “fine fellow” but could use more progressive views. He suggests that the Willsons could visit Oyster Bay the same time as the Hadleys and asks Hadley to contact Willson.
