Theodore Roosevelt thanks Frank Basil Tracy for what he did on the “Roosevelt Paid the Duties” letter and is amused at the mention of his supposed “enormous quantity of baggage.” He is concerned about Tracy’s report on the Massachusetts campaign and suggests he write Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. Roosevelt hopes Eugene Foss will be beaten and is disappointed that Louis Adams Frothingham is not doing better on the stump.
