William Wingate Sewall congratulates President Roosevelt on the election results. He was very glad to hear that William H. Taft and Charles Evans Hughes both carried New York. The result is as much an accomplishment for Roosevelt as if he had run himself. Sewall will send the stockings when they are done. He asks if Roosevelt would also like a few pairs of drawers.
