Click on image to zoom in
Theodore Roosevelt is confused by William E. Sedgwick’s letter. Roosevelt does not want the nomination nor does he think there is enough of a public demand for him that he will be faced with the choice of accepting it or not. Roosevelt hopes Sedgwick will be in New York and can come talk to him in person.
