Theodore Roosevelt thanks Governor Hadley for countering rumors regarding Roosevelt’s consumption of alcohol. Roosevelt appreciates Hadley’s work during the campaign for the Republican presidential nomination and regrets that Hadley will not be joining the new third party movement. Roosevelt does not see a usefulness for the Republican Party under its current leadership but would never question Hadley’s “conscientiousness.”
