Dear Cabot:
There is a. great wave of Cleveland
sentiment among the democrats and
Independents. I think his nomination
far from impossible and I believe he
would be a formidable candidate. At
the same time we are as a whole in
good shape as party, and unless
events work against us we should be
able to carry the country next year.
This last week I have really enjoyed.
| have had some splendid rides and
have been thoroughly interested In
the utterly new sights of New Mexi-
60, Arizona and southern California
Murray Butlers has been a great
companion, and | am enjoying to the
full having Moody with me. l shall
be four days in the Yosemite, with
John Muir.$s I an in pretty fair
shape and my voice has held out as
tonishingly. Seemingly I have been
received with great enthusiasm.
Love to Nanny. / am SO glad you
liked Renown.**s and I am even
more pleased that You have been rid
ing now and then with Edith.
Ever yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

Dear Theodore:
I wish from the bottom Of my heart
that Cleveland would be nominated.
He would be the easiest man in the
country TO beat, and that, I find, Is
the opinion Of our state committee
and Of men engaged in managing the
campaign. They all believe that his
nomination is something too good to
be true. ] do not myself believe there
Sc the slightest chance of his being

died down good deal already.
Your trip seems to have been a
great success, politically and other
wise, and has made a very distinct
impression here. Everything in this
part Of the country is all right for
you. There IL no trouble whatever,
but that is an old story.
Always yours,

Dear Theodore:
Our friend Henry Loonis Nelson
says this morning In the Herald that
though you have abandoned your
friends you are loyal to your close
friends and especially to me. although
your friendship for me Is founded
on unreason. I am glad TO know
what our friendship Is founded on,
from so good an authority as Nelson.
He also harks back to the old talk
from Blaine and my pernicious and
deadly influence on you at that time.
Really I think Nelson Is one OF the
toughest of all those over.rishteous
people with whom we are so familiar.
Always sincerely yours.
H. C. LODGE

Dear Cabot:
About the Alaska business: / have
written Hay at once that England
must be kept right up TO the mark. 7
am by no means certain hat ! would
acquiesce In deferring the matter un-
: til next summer. do not want II
hanging on during my presidential
campaign. dislike making any kind
of threat, but my present judgment
IL that IL the British play fast and
loose the thing 10 DO IL to declare
the negotiations off. recite our case
in the message TO congress-, and ask
for an appropriation to run the
boundary az we deem II should be
run.
ss far q. can zee there are only
two points where there II room for
,soubt az 10 the decision. one is
whether yancouver's map or Van
couyers narrative should be. followed
