James M. Scovel writes that he continues to support Roosevelt for president, presumably in 1904. Scovel recently lost his wife and misses her terribly. [Text appears to be missing – does not continue from page 1 to page 2.] Scovel does not think that Governor Odell’s opposition to Roosevelt will affect the election, as he recalls that Cleveland was nominated for president with the New York votes against him at the convention. Scovel also notes that he is writing about Andrew Johnson for a monthly publication (name unreadable) and he asks Roosevelt for the names of the seven Republicans who voted against Johnson’s impeachment.
