Theodore Roosevelt thanks Samuel Gompers for the article he sent, which was “written in such a moderate and gentlemanly tone.” While he disagrees with Gompers on a couple points, it is a pleasure to write a response, rather than a “disagreeable duty.” Roosevelt invites Gompers to have lunch with him sometime and meet the editors of The Outlook.
