Everyone is anxious about President McKinley’s health which appears to be in decline. Douglas Robinson and Roosevelt’s friends have absolute confidence in him but there is concern in financial circles. The markets are already responding to the general nervousness. If anything should happen to McKinley, Robinson recommends that Roosevelt make known his “conservative opinions and policy” and, at least initially, maintain McKinley’s Cabinet.
