Chairman Cortelyou asks William Loeb to see if the matter regarding the Baltimore Post Office can be held off until he can speak with President Roosevelt. Cortelyou will be traveling to New York the following week and will make a stop in Oyster Bay, New York, but would prefer if that was not widely known. He reports that things have been going well for the campaign. A handwritten note at the bottom adds that he has received Loeb’s message and will accept President Roosevelt’s invitation to dine on Monday.
