Journalist Mark Sullivan from Collier’s The National Weekly requests President Roosevelt’s permission to publish an article titled Roosevelt is a Menace to Some Business along with a related letter from Roosevelt. Sullivan reminds Roosevelt that he would like to develop an article concerning Roosevelt’s diverse hobbies and interests. He feels that Roosevelt’s lack of pretensions concerning his office and sympathy for the common man make him relatable, inspiring Americans to work harder for the public good.
