Theodore Roosevelt was pleased to hear from Sir Alfred E. Pease and learn of his recent marriage. He describes the attempt on his life as a “mere trifle” compared to Pease’s hunting experiences. Roosevelt made a “good fight” during the presidential election and has no regrets. Governor Woodrow Wilson could not be defeated as his candidacy “satisfied all sections of the Democratic Party” but President William H. Taft was beaten.
