Former Ohio Governor Herrick sincerely appreciates the duplicate letter President Roosevelt sent. Herrick says he would have accepted the position offered, but felt obligated to defeat Tom Loftin Johnson then, and feels sure Theodore E. Burton can do the same now. He asks to delay the meeting Roosevelt requested in order to attend the dedication of the McKinley memorial in Canton, Ohio.
