Letter from Secretary of Theodore Roosevelt to William J. McKiernan

Subject(s): Monuments, New Jersey--Newark, New York (State), Roosevelt, Theodore, 1858-1919, Scheduling

Theodore Roosevelt’s secretary informs William J. McKiernan that Roosevelt was “greatly touched” by his letter and very much wishes that he could visit McKiernan’s club. Unfortunately it is not possible for Roosevelt to arrange any other engagements because of a prior engagement in New York. Roosevelt will only have time to dedicate the Lincoln Monument while in Newark.
