Charles R. Parmele is very discouraged to have received a reply from Frank Harper offering Parmele the chance to talk to Theodore Roosevelt for only one minute. Parmele asks Roosevelt to give him five minutes or else he cannot make the effort to come because this matter cannot be covered in sixty seconds

Charles R. Parmele introduces himself to Theodore Roosevelt as a friend of Daniel Delehanty, Montague Lessler, and E.C. Benedict. He also met Roosevelt in Washington, D.C., when he was working on passage of the Pure Food and Drug Law. Parmele claims that he has important information about Harvey Washington Wiley and the Pure Food and Drug Act. According to Parmele, no one else in the field is willing to speak honestly on this subject. He asks to speak with Roosevelt in person to give him this information.
