Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to J. S. Sherman

Roosevelt asks if Representative Sherman might be an intermediary for feedback so that he does not keep interfering with these politics, and asks if he can write to Sherman when he has something to suggest. This would also give Sherman a position where he could exercise his own judgement and influence with the campaign committees.
