Ex-Mayor of Batavia, New York, Harvey J. Burkhart advises William Loeb to immediately formulate a plan to elect Roosevelt supporting delegates to the Republican National Convention. Burkhart warns that the same forces keeping Archie Dovell Sanders in office as the Collector of Internal Revenue are “interfering in post office matters” with Assemblyman James Wadsworth supporting them. Burkhart will help President Roosevelt in any way possible and offers to meet with Loeb to speak with him about the matter if he feels he cannot write about the issue.
