New York State Assemblyman Theodore Roosevelt expresses how much he misses his wife Alice as he sits in his hotel in Albany. He faces a tough fight in the Assembly and says his chances of winning seem even with William O’Neil and Isaac Hunt acting as his lieutenants, probably referring to his nomination as Speaker of the Assembly. He adds that Alfred Clark Chapin will get the Democratic nomination and probably win the Speakership.
