Click on image to zoom in
Theodore Roosevelt writes to Frederick A. Cottrell, declining the invitation to write an article for the July issue of The Young Republican. He receives many requests to write such articles and must refuse to avoid offending those he has already declined. He argues that writing so many articles would inherently decrease the overall quality of the writing and render them useless.
