John Allison has been receiving treatment for an abscess in his ear, but is beginning to do better. He praises Theodore Roosevelt’s open letter to Chairman Clapp. Allison looks forward to seeing Roosevelt when he travels to Tennessee in the near future, and suggests State Senator John Houk as a candidate to introduce Roosevelt at Knoxville, Tennessee, noting that he “has been a ‘wheelhorse’ for Roosevelt in Tennessee.”
