Theodore Roosevelt reminds Jeter Connelly Pritchard that he believes in, admires, and trusts Pritchard. Roosevelt addresses the points Pritchard made in his letter, beginning with how northern Republicans treat southern Republicans. Roosevelt says William H. Taft has been poorly advised on almost every point. Roosevelt does not want the nomination, and though he will not refuse if he is nominated, he will cross that bridge when he comes to it.
