President Roosevelt is working with Postmaster General Henry C. Payne on several investigations at the Post Office. Former President Cleveland remains popular among Democrats and Roosevelt believes that Cleveland’s nomination is “far from impossible.” Roosevelt enjoyed traveling through the southeast, found the Grand Canyon majestic, and is pleased with his traveling companions, Nicholas Murray Butler, Secretary of the Navy William H. Moody, and Benjamin Ide Wheeler.
