Theodore Roosevelt’s secretary writes to Frederick H. Elliott about Roosevelt’s membership in the Touring Club of America. The secretary had been under the impression that the organization was not a commercial organization but “a club of character of the usual New York clubs, where a member is proposed and ascended and balloted upon.” Since the organization is a commercial one, the secretary requests that Roosevelt’s name be removed from the honorary membership list.
