President Roosevelt hopes to have Martha Macomb Flandrau Selmes over to dinner sometime so that they can have a satisfactory talk. Roosevelt has forwarded Selmes’s letter to Secretary of War Taft, and says that if he wins the election Roosevelt believes they can get the Manila Constabulary Band to come play. He says that Taft would like to hear from Selmes, as she was the wife of his old friend Tilden Russell Selmes.
