Letter from Edgar L. Van Etten to Theodore Roosevelt
Edgar L. Van Etten offers Theodore Roosevelt an opportunity to invest in an agricultural venture in Western Canada. Van Etten explains that the venture will allow easterners to profit from the cultivation of wheat, alfalfa, and hogs on low-priced land without having to be present on-site. In order to pitch what he describes as “the safest and best investment on earth,” he requests fifteen minutes of Roosevelt’s time to provide specific details.
