George Edward Graham is grateful for President Roosevelt’s recognition that he would never intentionally do something that Roosevelt disapproved of, and writes to let him know that Roosevelt’s wishes regarding the Roosevelt Home Club will be followed. He reviews some of the circumstances that led to the present situation, and regrets that he took a leadership position in the organization because he is not a businessman, and the club needed business experience. He reassures Roosevelt that when the club solicited funds from office holders, they made sure to be clear that there was no compulsion attached. He regrets any embarrassment or annoyance Roosevelt felt, and hopes to be able to visit him sometime.
