Theodore Roosevelt cannot accept Mrs. C. B. Bleakley’s invitation to speak. Roosevelt receives thousands of similar invitations but has been unable to accept “one in a hundred” of them. Every speaking engagement takes a great toll upon Roosevelt and to accept more would make it impossible for him to accomplish any other work.
