Governor Hughes thanks President Roosevelt for his letters during the campaign, which were “refreshing and stimulating.” He enjoyed stumping through the Midwest for William H. Taft and is very glad that William Jennings Bryan was defeated. Although the situation in New York was desperate, Hughes says that he did not doubt that he would win re-election.
