Theodore Roosevelt suggests several letters that Richard Washburn Child could quote. Roosevelt encloses a letter from October 1908 that might interest Child, and states that C. P. Connolly has another letter of interest. Roosevelt suggests John Sullivan as candidate for Governor of Massachusetts and Charles Sumner Bird or Fesdick for Senator, presumably for the Progressive Party.
