Herschel V. Jones asks Vice President Roosevelt to write to Charles W. Somerby but not to Mr. Grimshaw or Mr. Peterson. As he was writing, Jones was informed of the assassination attempt against President McKinley and he will pray for the president’s survival. He is sending the letter just as he had written it with full appreciation that the situation has changed.
