Seth Low tells President Roosevelt of a conversation he had with Archbishop Farley who spoke warmly of Roosevelt and “hopes sincerely” he will be re-elected. Low notes that he has followed the course of events in the Far East and is delighted that Secretary Hay’s note on China’s instability is being met with agreement. He wishes Roosevelt well on Panama and shares sympathy on the death of Senator Hanna. Low shares an anecdote about a donkey that he and Mrs. Low encountered while traveling and hopes his note gave Roosevelt a “moment’s relief from the cares of State.”
