President Roosevelt is fond of Julian LaRose Harris and would like to help Uncle Remus’s Magazine in the wake of Joel Chandler Harris’s death. Roosevelt does not think that it is very likely he would be able to write a piece for the magazine, as he has already promised articles to several others; but he offers to write a letter for publication, standing in support of the magazine and honoring the memory of Harris’s father. Roosevelt views Uncle Remus’s as not only a Southern magazine, but an American one.
