Theodore Roosevelt shares with Joseph Bucklin Bishop that his letter is the first long one that Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt has been able to enjoy. He is glad Bishop likes John Avery McIlhenny and is interested in Bishop’s inside information about the political situation. Roosevelt comments on the recent elections, which were unfavorable for the Republican Party overall. His nephew, Theodore Douglas Robinson, won despite fraud by the J. S. Sherman machine.
