Moses A. Gunst informs President Roosevelt that if he is well, he will go as a delegate in June and vote for Roosevelt. In Gunst’s absence, Milton Herman Esberg will “attend to matters of importance” in the fall. Roosevelt can also depend on the California delegation; if Gunst is unable to go, he will attempt to ensure the rest of the delegates will vote for Roosevelt. Gunst also mentions seeing San Francisco Chronicle journalist, Michael H. De Young.
