Theodore Roosevelt’s secretary informs Wallace Batchelder that Roosevelt is planning to speak on the topic of “Co-operation in country life.” However, Roosevelt is always grateful for suggestions, so if there is anything that Batchelder would like him to talk about, he should not hesitate to say so. Roosevelt’s secretary asks Batchelder to please inform him of the schedule for Roosevelt’s visit, including what time he should leave New York City and what time he should arrive in White River Junction. As for his protection, the railway usually sends “a kind of secret service man” to guard Roosevelt.
