Theodore Roosevelt does not mind writing another letter to Mary Phillips Riis. He was only explaining, in his previous letter, that the people he would usually send a letter of introduction to in London are all on the front and would not be able to help her. He tells Dr. Jane Elizabeth Robbins that if the Democratic controlled Congress would put his Nobel Peace Prize to work, he could help her work at the Neighborhood Settlement but he is instead helpless.
