Edgar Huidekoper Wells apologizes for being unclear in his last letter. He was not inviting but merely notifying Theodore Roosevelt of the Harvard Alumni Association meeting on January 11. Wells had not heard that the Harvard Division of Forestry meeting on January 11 was rescheduled. Therefore, he assumed Roosevelt would already be in Boston for the forestry and Board of Overseers meetings.
