The secretary of Theodore Roosevelt acknowledges the receipt of W. S. Scarborough’s letter requesting a letter of introduction to industrialist Henry Clay Frick. Roosevelt’s secretary promises to give Roosevelt the letter when he returns from campaigning in the Midwest, but doubts that Roosevelt will provide a letter of introduction for Scarborough as Frick no longer supports Roosevelt and such letters have created problems for Roosevelt in the past.
