President Roosevelt was pleased by Byron S. Hurlbut’s letter, and agrees that his son, Theodore Roosevelt, should graduate from Harvard in 1909 for the reasons that Hurlbut gave. Roosevelt was also pleased by what Hurlbut has written about him, and would like him to meet several of the people upon whom Roosevelt has relied during his time as President. He asks if Hurlbut can visit on a Saturday in April for dinner, as he has a personal rule of not inviting people to lunch or dinner on Sunday.
