Henry Riesenberg reminds Theodore Roosevelt of a conversation they had in February 1909, when Roosevelt expressed confidence in President William H. Taft’s ability to follow in his footsteps and lead the country. Now that Roosevelt has been proven wrong about Taft, Riesenberg implores him to get involved and prevent Taft from being renominated in 1912.
