Frederick E. Von Riethdorf congratulates Theodore Roosevelt on his birthday. He hopes President William H. Taft sees the folly in running for president again. Taft is not popular in the West, and Westerners predict the Republican Party will certainly be defeated if Taft is renominated. Von Riethdorf comments that his translation of From Rough Rider to President is selling well.
