Donald Livingston hopes Theodore Roosevelt will be able to offer consultation on his construction of a shell or projectile for warfare use and mentions how poor the crop business has been. Livingston updates on politics stating William H. Taft’s challenge at gaining votes, but he believes Robert M. La Follette will succeed at gaining votes and that the people’s true sentiments belong to Theodore Roosevelt or Charles Evans Hughes.
