William T. Dowdall reminds Theodore Roosevelt of the letter Dowdall sent in 1908 in which Dowell urged Roosevelt to run for president. Dowdall repeats his plea noting that William H. Taft will not win the election if he is nominated. If only Roosevelt will say he is not a candidate for nomination, but he will serve if he is elected, Dowdall is sure Roosevelt will be nominated and elected.
