William H. H. Llewellyn informs Theodore Roosevelt of the public opinion of the presidential nomination in the New Mexico Territory. William H. Taft did not provide statehood for New Mexico and therefore Llewellyn does not believe he can win the vote. Llewellyn does not believe Roosevelt would accept the nomination, even if he were offered it from both parties and ran unopposed. Llewellyn also sends updates on his job opportunities and of those around him Roosevelt knows.
