Letter from Secretary of Theodore Roosevelt to W. Wesley Miller

Subject(s): Criticism, Manuscripts

Theodore Roosevelt’s secretary is sorry to inform W. Wesley Miller that, although he understands the circumstances leading to Miller’s request, Roosevelt cannot help him. Roosevelt receives a great many requests to read manuscripts and offer advice concerning publication, but if he were to agree to every such request it would quickly overwhelm him.
