Theodore Roosevelt acknowledges that he heard Walter Camp was going to “sunder his connection” from the Athletic Committee, but notes that he is confident that does not mean Camp will lose interest in athletics. Roosevelt responds to a request from Camp to publish one of his letters. He agrees to the request but specifies names of publications and people that are to be omitted from the published text.
