Theodore Roosevelt is pleased to hear from Pierre de Coubertin. He succeeded in getting Evert Wendell on the Olympic Committee. Roosevelt believes the games should be held in Berlin, Germany, if Emperor William II dictates it. Unfortunately, Roosevelt cannot comply with Coubertin’s request as he has too many other things to write.
