Lieutenant Governor Guild tells President Roosevelt that Massachusetts is looking good for his eventual success, but that within the state there is a bitter struggle. Nevertheless, Guild is confident of victory. Guild encloses a letter from J. William Randall, who he vouches for as a respected citizen, petitioning on behalf of his son in the army who he claims is being persecuted. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Robert B. Armstrong has irritated many people in Massachusetts due to a ruling he made related to the Art Museum of Boston and import duties. He hopes Roosevelt will be able to address this issue when the election is over, as it is making the Republicans unpopular.
