Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to James R. Mann

Subject(s): Heyburn, Weldon Brinton, 1852-1912

President Roosevelt apologizes to Representative Mann that the pen he inquired about has already been given to Senator Weldon Brinton Heyburn, who authored the pure food bill in the senate. If he was still in possession of it, Roosevelt would have been pleased to give it to Mann because of the work he did in helping secure passage of the pure food bill and his effective work in helping promote the Panama Canal.
