Theodore Roosevelt’s secretary does not remember receiving Enos S. Costa’s letter of July 28, explaining Costa’s previous letter in which he offered his help in Roosevelt’s campaign in return for a government position should Roosevelt be elected. The secretary once again states that Roosevelt cannot promise positions to any of his supporters, but Roosevelt would be very grateful if Costa did help in the campaign especially among other Americans of foreign extraction.
