John Campbell Greenway thinks that President Roosevelt’s special message to Congress silenced the faction that opposed him and secured the presidential nomination of Secretary of War William H. Taft. Greenway hopes that when Roosevelt’s term is over, he will visit. He updates Roosevelt on his mining business. He has been able to keep his men working without cutting wages, and will open a new mine and town soon. He asks Roosevelt for the text of the Employers Liability Bill, which he believes is important and must be framed correctly.
