President Roosevelt intends to settle the Post Office matter when he returns to Washington, D.C., and he is thankful that August W. Machen is an inheritance from Grover Cleveland. Roosevelt believes that his western trip has been successful, but he is glad that the trip is almost over, even though William H. Moody has been “a real comfort.”
