John D. Dow writes a long and mostly incoherent letter to Vice President Roosevelt. He discusses Alice Roosevelt’s recent illness and need for a dental operation. He seems to want Roosevelt to cooperate in a scheme to sell stock for an invention he has patented, a cattle car to ship cattle East. He believes Roosevelt could raise “2 to 4 million” in just a few days in the West. He also comments on the Rough Riders.
