Senator Bourne asks William Loeb to deliver a letter to Theodore Roosevelt on his behalf. He tells Loeb to watch out for Charles Evan Hughes, who he thinks would win the Republican nomination if Roosevelt dies, and questions whether he could beat the Democrat William Jennings Bryan. Bourne asks when he, Loeb, and Hibbs are going to meet up in New York.
