President Roosevelt thanks Caspar Whitney for the letter, but says that he does not think he could accept the suggestion of S. S. McClure. Last year, Collier’s magazine made him an offer to purchase articles from a trip around the world, but Roosevelt does not feel like making such a trip. Regarding Whitney’s other letter, Roosevelt cannot give the answer Whitney would like while he is president.
