Theodore Roosevelt is unsure if a play suggested by Farnham Bishop could be delivered, but he approves of the idea. Roosevelt does not believe he can find a backer for Bishop’s play and cannot think of anyone who would take an interest. However, if Bishop can think of a suitable backer that Roosevelt knows, he is willing to write to them and advocate for a meeting.
