John H. Finley thanks President Roosevelt for the letter. Finley encloses a note he had written before he received the President’s letter to be read at his inauguration. He seems to be urging the President to attend in person, and says he had discussed this with Senator Albert Beveridge and with Dr. Albert Shaw. He hopes Roosevelt might yet consent to his request.
