Theodore Roosevelt believes that he will need to shortly announce whether he would accept the Republican presidential nomination if nominated. He has received requests from several state governors and has been reviewing the situation with Frank Knox and J. Franklin Fort. Knox will be contacting Governor Hadley regarding the state in which Roosevelt should make his announcement. In a postscript, Roosevelt suggests that he make his views on the nomination public by answering letters from Hadley, Governor Glasscock, Governor Stubbs, Governor Osborn, and Governor Bass. Roosevelt does not intend to seek the nomination but would feel honor-bound to respond to a call from the public.
