Theodore Roosevelt tells Dr. White that he has written to Raymond Robins that he cannot speak at the contemporary club about the war. If he starts, he will never stop and writing is a better way to reach his audience. Roosevelt is very interested to read the article White wrote with Agnes Repplier, with whom he had at first disagreed for being a pacifist but who he now supports.
