Click on image to zoom in
Theodore Roosevelt’s secretary sends Roosevelt’s regrets to Lee Brown about being unable to comply with his request. Roosevelt never gives his opinion on public affairs in personal letters for quotation. Roosevelt receives so many letters requesting his opinion on various issues that to comply in every case would take up too much of his time. Brown should consult Roosevelt’s published speeches instead.
