President Roosevelt tells Richard Watson Gilder that he thinks it would be best if William Garrott Brown did not use any extracts from Roosevelt’s letter to Gilder, as “his point of view is very different from mine, and I do not wish to seem to be in a controversy even of the friendliest kind.” He does not object to Gilder using extracts from the letter.
