Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore “Ted” Roosevelt continues his previous letter to his father, Theodore Roosevelt, on President William H. Taft’s reelection campaign. He plans to leave politics once the current municipal race is over. He will publicly support Taft, but he will not actively campaign for him. According to Ted, the California legislature has been inconsistent, passing some useful and some silly measures in the most recent session. This has caused the public to lose some confidence in government leadership. Roosevelt’s wife, Eleanor, and daughter, Grace, are doing well. Ted hopes his father and mother will be able to visit them soon. He looks forward to reading the article written by his brother, Kermit.
