Assistant Treasurer at St. Louis Thomas J. Akins does not believe that Dr. Albert Shaw’s letter is in the possession of any member of the Missouri Republican State Committee, but will do his best to see if he can locate it. Akins has worked to bring the Republican party of Missouri together, and believes there will be a large increase in voters in the upcoming election. While he is not sure if President Roosevelt will win the state he has a chance of doing so. In a handwritten postscript Akins notes that he has just received Roosevelt’s letter, and will follow the instructions.
