Ralph Emerson Twitchell thanks Theodore Roosevelt for the photograph and asks if he saw the review of his book. New Mexico recently held elections. The Republican Party leaders deserved what was administered. Regardless, the state legislature will be Republican, although the United States Senators may not. William H. H. Llewellyn will be Speaker of the House despite the attempts against him. Twitchell suggests Roosevelt write a brief statement commending the New Mexicans who served as Rough Riders. He will include the statement in the second volume of his book.
