President Roosevelt would like to help Donald G. Wilhelm, because he admires any Harvard student who is working his way through college. Roosevelt writes, however, that “The fewer of the articles I wrote while in college, the better pleased I will be.” He does not remember anything about what he wrote, and feels that he likely would not recognize or care for them now.
