Wayne MacVeagh sends Vice President Roosevelt a clipping from the Philadelphia Ledger, a Republican paper that has always supported him. MacVeagh writes that the treaty with the British will suit Roosevelt’s views if Roosevelt speaks with them courteously but firmly. If Roosevelt decides that the current treaty should simply repeal the previous Clatyon-Bulwer treaty, that is all it will do. Finally, MacVeagh reminds Roosevelt that “the plain people” from the West have always supported him and will continue to do so if he remains true to himself.
