New York Lieutenant Governor Woodruff asks William Loeb if he has met with William Barnes, since neither Barnes nor Loeb has mentioned it to him and he is confused about what plans Loeb referred to in a previous letter. Woodruff saw Barnes in Albany at the Republican Headquarters and Barnes advised that it would be better if someone other than Woodruff would oppose the resolution of endorsement, most likely referring to the proposed legislative resolution endorsing New York Governor Charles Evans Hughes for president in the upcoming election. Woodruff says he has also spoken with Herbert Parsons about the plans for the resolution. Woodruff promises to carry out President Roosevelt’s wishes, he just needs to know what they are.
