After receiving Robert Harry Munro Ferguson’s letter, Theodore Roosevelt wrote to David Goodrich and strongly stated the case. He also wrote to Major Llewellyn about corruption in the election of United States senators. The political situation is “very much mixed” and Roosevelt believes it would be a calamity if he was nominated as a presidential candidate. He does not believe he will be nominated but if there is a “genuine popular movement” he will not be able to decline.
