Theodore Roosevelt writes to honorable George E. Chamberlain and gladly signs the requested letters, although he asks that neither Chamberlain nor the recipients of the letters show them to anyone else. He clarifies that “these are letters which I can give with propriety, for they are written to men in the same profession as your son, and simply state your son’s character and his purpose.” He receives many requests for a different kind of letter and the writers would not understand why he will write letters for Chamberlain and not others.
