Theodore Roosevelt informs Harriet Halstead that he would like to help the Halstead family but cannot make appointments for offices. His past attempts to do so have not been fruitful anyway and he has been flooded with these requests. Roosevelt suggests that Halstead write directly to Elihu Root; Roosevelt feels sure that Root will appoint the grandson of Murat Halstead if he is able.
