Letter from William H. Taft to Theodore Roosevelt
Secretary of War Taft has had news about probable majorities for the election in Maine. He has received an invitation to speak in Brooklyn, but cannot make this work, as he already has too many engagements lined up. Taft has read President Roosevelt’s letter of acceptance and approves of everything in it. The process of buying lands from the friars in the Philippines is running into some issues, as one of the companies is threatening to rescind a contract due to a new survey of the lands in question and a decrease in the price.
