Bela Tokaji, President of the National Progressive Republican League, received Theodore Roosevelt’s letter and will not quote him. However, he “will continue to loyally stand by” Roosevelt alongside the powerful and influential men who share his belief in Roosevelt. Bela asks if he has Roosevelt’s permission to bring his greetings to these men at their upcoming meeting.
