Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Augustus Peabody Gardner

Theodore Roosevelt writes Representative Gardner that the Massachusetts situation concerns him, and he does not understand why Gardner did not stop after his Trinidad position. Gardner has put Roosevelt in an uncomfortable situation, but Roosevelt will not deal with the campaign situation “half-way.” He either had to go into the campaign with full support or not at all.
