John Hooper Caffee sends Theodore Roosevelt a copy of the story The man on horseback written by the editor of The Denver Times, Heulin C. O’Neill. It is about how Roosevelt saves the country when the other party leaders have failed, and feels very appropriate to the current climate. Caffee remembers Roosevelt saying he did not wish to return to any political office both when he left the White House, and more recently, but hopes he will enjoy the story regardless.
