President Roosevelt writes to Herbert Myrick to apologize that he cannot be present at the dedication of Myrick’s building, but wants to wish him well and send a few words regarding national cooperation to support technical education, specifically in agriculture. Roosevelt praises Myrick for his work with the Orange Judd agricultural papers and for exemplifying professional cooperation and ethical business practices. Roosevelt details his feelings on the importance of the preservation of natural resources, the updated applications of the Homestead Law, and the possible ways the Nation and the State can empower hard working farmers to make sure the business of agriculture thrives in America.
