Things in Chicago are beginning to look more hopeful. The committee in the contested cases so far have gone 100 to 1 in favor of Taft, and now T.R. is raising a howl of fraud, contravention of the will of the people and I don't know what all. If the whole thing goes against him he may die in a fit of great disappointment. It is cool here so far and I have not suffered any of heat as I feared I might. I hope you are having an interesting time at the Congress. Don't get too tired. Affly, [[signature]] F. [[/signature]]
