Theodore Roosevelt discusses his recollection of the Bureau of Corporation’s investigation into the Harvester matter, and tells Oscar K. Davis that it is comparable to Charles J. Bonaparte’s remembrance. Roosevelt writes that he will not appear in a moving picture with Boy Scouts or anyone else as he feels it would be a cheap thing to do.
