Letter from Oliver D. Filley to Theodore Roosevelt
Oliver D. Filley explains to President Roosevelt what has been done to try to arrange a race between the crew teams of Harvard and Cambridge. Filley feared it would be impossible for Roosevelt to act in any unofficial way, and that his writing might put the Englishmen in a position where they could not refuse with grace if they could not arrange a match. However, Roosevelt’s letter of support was greatly appreciated.
