Cecil Andrew Lyon congratulates President Roosevelt on his victory and updates him on the situation in Texas. Although the Republican vote was light in Texas, the typically enormous Democratic majority did not exist. When Lyon visits Washington, D.C., he plans to show Roosevelt what the Republican Party was able to accomplish in Texas. He also wants to know when Roosevelt is planning to visit Texas, how much time he plans to spend hunting, and if he would be willing to address two or three meetings in Texas.
