Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to George R. Howe

Subject(s): Lindsey, Ben B. (Ben Barr), 1869-1943

Theodore Roosevelt writes to George R. Howe about his letter and the enclosed letter from Judge Lindsey. He appreciates the consideration, but he does not want to be connected with any further institutions or movements. Roosevelt notes that he only joins an organization if he will be able to be an active member and that is an impossibility. He is also unable to write any letters of endorsement.
