Frank P. MacLennan appreciates Theodore Roosevelt’s letters and plans to give them to his daughter. Some of Roosevelt’s friends in Kansas are mistaken about his position regarding the presidential election, especially Governor Walter Roscoe Stubbs. He suggests Roosevelt write Stubbs and clearly state his position on being nominated. He discusses his farm, including the crops, haying, and his homing pigeons. MacLennan will be in New York in December for business meetings and wants to take up Roosevelt’s invitation. He comments on being vice president of publishing associations. Recently, he started publishing a full sheet of comics in black, red, and blue, in his newspaper and believes he is the first to do so. In a postscript, MacLennan apologizes for writing such a long letter.
