Elmer E. Harriman recently heard Theodore Roosevelt speak in California, and writes to tell him how much he approves of Roosevelt’s ideas. Harriman had the opportunity to speak with Jacob Riis, and while he was interested in Roosevelt previously, he became even more so after the conversation and reading Riis’s book. Harriman is glad to share Roosevelt’s ideals, and that he has had the opportunity to help further them in California.
