Theodore Roosevelt informs John Campbell Greenway that Kermit Roosevelt is graduating from college. He asked David M. Goodrich’s brother about Kermit going to Arizona to work in the mining industry and then take a technical course at a college. Goodrich advised against it and discussed the need for practical work experience. Roosevelt wants to know Greenway’s opinion. Although he shows no “special technical predilection,” Kermit is eager to work hard.
