President Roosevelt does not think it is suitable for him as President to join any call such as the one William S. Harvey suggests. He believes that New Hampshire should take action as a state, following the example of New York in creating the Adirondack Forest Reserve. Roosevelt does not believe that the federal government has the expenses to purchase such a reserve at this time.
