Theodore Roosevelt’s Secretary tells James M. Davis that Roosevelt has received his letter but he cannot send a message or speak as he has already performed similar requests for other Boy Scout groups and it would not be possible to continue to do so repeatedly. He suggests Davis obtain a statement Roosevelt has already delivered from the Boy Scout headquarters.
