Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Anna Roosevelt Cowles

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Anna Roosevelt Cowles

President Roosevelt feels that Joseph W. Alsop did well in his election, especially considering the circumstances. He sympathizes with Judge Marcus H. Holcomb’s feelings about Governor-elect George L. Lilley. He and William Loeb have always liked Lilley, but he had “a very corrupt gang” opposing him. He is pleased with other results in Connecticut and is amused to hear that Ambassador Whitelaw Reid and his wife wish to stay in London, though he does not know President-elect William H. Taft’s plans for them.
