William Austin Wadsworth sends President Roosevelt information on a friend of his, who comes with strong endorsements from Bell Weston Burton and S. Schofield. Wadsworth asks Roosevelt to tell Edith Roosevelt that he rode her favorite horse yesterday and thought of her. Wadsworth reports that James Wolcott Wadsworth, his representative in Congress, is sure of reelection, and does not care what his opponent Peter A. Porter does. Representative Wadsworth has said that the Honorable George Aldrich believes James Goold Cutler, the mayor of Rochester, can be elected governor and later become president. Wadsworth encloses a picture of Katherine Coolidge with Eleanora Randolph Sears.
