Letter from Jonathan Bourne to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Conversation, Massachusetts, Meetings

Senator Bourne feels that his conversation with President Roosevelt this morning was incomplete, and would like to have a longer private conversation with Roosevelt. Bourne feels this is an important matter for him as an elected official rather than a personal one, and asks Roosevelt to keep their earlier conversation to himself and not to act on anything before Bourne can explain in more detail. Bourne also asks Roosevelt to schedule their conversation as soon as possible, since Bourne will be leaving shortly for business in Massachusetts.
