Secretary of War Taft has read Charles A. Conant’s letter regarding the Cuban currency, and while he believes President Roosevelt should heed Conant’s warning, he is suspicious that Conant is looking for a job related to it. In a handwritten postscript, Taft says he has heard positive news from Ohio about the upcoming election, but he will believe it after the vote, not before.
