Edward Sandford Martin’s letter was so generous that Theodore Roosevelt feels he should not have written him at all as he was being over-sensitive. Roosevelt said he minded what was written about him earlier because he is in the middle of a campaign for governor which, he admits privately, will probably end in defeat and he has had a long three and half years with little rest.
