President Roosevelt is glad that Richard Watson Gilder, of Century Magazine, liked his piece and tells him to publish it in either December or January, as he sees fit. Roosevelt would prefer that Gilder decide what to pay him and promises to be content with whatever amount he is given. On the scale of Scribners, Roosevelt says he would receive $1000 but wishes for Gilder to tell him frankly if that is too much.
