Frederick W. Whitridge divulges his authorship of the pamphlet to President Roosevelt and is glad that he and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt enjoyed it. Whitridge believes that unless Grover Cleveland is nominated, Roosevelt will have an easily beatable opponent in the election. Whitridge discusses notable people he has seen in Rome, especially Hilda Francesetti, who translated Roosevelt’s book, Strenuous Life, and is waiting on the publisher’s answer regarding its publication.
