President Roosevelt assures Governor General Taft of his admiration and support for him after Taft had expressed worries about Roosevelt’s position towards him. Roosevelt writes Taft that he is one of the most highly prized members of his administration along with Secretary of War Elihu Root and Attorney General Philander C. Knox. Roosevelt also expresses his frustration with Congress for not lowering the tariff on goods from the Philippines, and he says that he is looking forward to spending time at home at the conclusion of his western tour.
