Charles W. McMurran thanks Theodore Roosevelt for the letter on his son, Russell W. McMurran’s behalf. He included Roosevelt’s secretary’s instructions only to use it as described. Russell wants to make California his home, much like Theodore “Ted” Roosevelt and McMurran hopes Roosevelt will visit Russell when he is in San Francisco. He asks to meet with Roosevelt to discuss a business opportunity. In a side note, McMurran predicts that Tammany Hall will elect their men and the Democrats will control the New York Legislature.
