Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Louisa Lee Schuyler

Subject(s): Apologies, Friendship--Correspondence, Luncheons

Theodore Roosevelt is sorry he could not attend a luncheon held by Louisa Lee Schuyler but is glad it went well. He draws a fine line between what he does for his friends versus admirers, but to accept an invitation over another would be to hurt someone’s feelings, which he does not want to do.
