Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Annie Nathan Meyer

Subject(s): Presidents--Quotations, Schoff, Hannah Kent, 1853-1940

President Roosevelt tells Annie Nathan Meyer that what he has said in public on a subject should be considered as all that he has said on that subject, and that people do not have the right to quote things that he is alleged to have said in private. Roosevelt is impressed by arguments made on the subject by Hannah Kent Schoff, president of the National Congress of Mothers.
