William H. Rideing has read that Roosevelt is currently writing two articles for immediate publication, and hopes that Roosevelt will consider contributing again to the Youth’s Companion. Rideing considers it impressive that Roosevelt can find the time to write, but observes that with Roosevelt’s energy “nothing can be dismissed as impossible.” Rideing offers to pay Roosevelt an honorarium of $1,000 to write articles for the Companion, and asks if he can renew the proposition in the future if Roosevelt is not able to accept at this time.
