Matthew Hale asks for President Roosevelt’s advice on an important issue. Hale has been offered a tutoring position that would require him to travel across the United States for one year studying the political and economic conditions of the country. Hale asks if Roosevelt thinks this trip would make Boston lawyers think Hale is too restless to trust or unenthusiastic about the field of law. Hale thinks the trip would be the very best preparation for what he hopes to do in life.
