Click on image to zoom in
President Roosevelt tells Ira E. Bennett that he currently has “so much on hand” that he will not be able to prepare an article as requested. Roosevelt asks which article in the Outlook Bennett is referring to, and if it is the one that is a chapter of Roosevelt’s autobiography. If it is, Bennett will have to ask permission of McMillan’s to publish it. Roosevelt also believes he covered the matter completely in his two messages to Congress, and tells Bennett he should request those.
