President Roosevelt thinks Jesse Overstreet’s reception suggestion is admirable but has two concerns. First, he does not know who should organize it. Second, he does not know if Secretary of State Elihu Root wants to speak offhand. Roosevelt has been “badgering” Root to share his experiences in South America, feeling it would be “a good thing for the country.”
