Hamilton Fish II forwards to President Roosevelt a letter from Luther B. Little stating that “full returns have not yet been received.” Fish wonders if Roosevelt has made any progress with General John Henry Ketcham. Fish also comments on the future influence of Governor Benjamin B. Odell. He does not attach any importance to recent newspaper accounts that Odell will opt for reelection.
