President Roosevelt details reasons why he enjoyed Robert Grant’s book The Undercurrent, and feels like the author echoed his own feelings regarding social, industrial, and political matters. Roosevelt notes he enjoys horrifying the excessively wealthy, but agrees with Grant’s notion that it will be difficult getting Federal and State governments to agree on ways to tax such individuals. Roosevelt also invites Grant to dinner and a musical on January 11, 1907.
