Theodore Roosevelt wishes that he could comply with Elizabeth Lee Bloomstein’s request and write a letter to help her get on the teachers list of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, but it is not possible for him to do so. Roosevelt receives many similar requests for letters and if he were to make an exception in one case he would have to do so in every case, which would greatly lessen the impact of any letter he might write.
