Secretary of War Taft informs President Roosevelt about a variety of correspondence he has attended to including letters from Cardinal Raphael Merry del Val, a recommendation to appoint Campbell to a judgeship in Panama, and a letter from Judge Smith. Taft also discusses reports from the Democratic Convention in St. Louis that indicate Judge Alton B. Parker will receive the nomination.
