Governor Roosevelt regrets the attitude of Carl Schurz and was surprised that the proposition of Andrew Dickson White as the vice presidential candidate was not better received. He discusses “the Turkish business” and explains the reasons for the exemptions he made for certain tax collectors and appraisers, noting that if Holls would like to write another letter to The Times, he should read the letter from George McAneny, Secretary of the Civil Service Reform Association. Roosevelt expresses his concern for the health of Caroline M. Holls and notes that both he and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt enjoyed the evening on the Hills.
