William Wingate Sewall congratulates President Roosevelt on the nomination of William H. Taft as the Republican candidate for President.

Sewall hopes to have Roosevelt and his family visit after leaving office, and says that he has a place prepared where they can enjoy some peace and quiet. He recently saw Mr. Powers, who is not looking well.
