Archbishop Ireland says that he will have to congratulate President Roosevelt after the election, but offers congratulations in the meantime on the “assured future.” He believes George B. Cortelyou deserves high praise for the way he has run Roosevelt’s campaign. Ireland encloses a letter and documents he received from Archbishop J. J. Harty of Manilla, and asks Roosevelt to look at them after election day so that they can discuss them when Ireland visits him later in the month.
