Representative Watson regards the letter of President Roosevelt’s as “superior to any other of your great many productions.” The letter is most likely one Roosevelt wrote in support of the Republican Party congressional candidates in preparation for the upcoming election. Watson will send a copy of Roosevelt’s letter to every Republican candidate for Congress in the United States and to every senator, and give it as much publicity as possible. Watson also expresses his appreciation for the personal mention Roosevelt makes in his letter.
