S. S. McClure tells William Loeb that he has sent H. Rider Haggard with a letter to President Roosevelt offering $6,000 per article for Roosevelt’s African series. Before Roosevelt makes a final decision, McClure would like to visit him personally to make his case. McClure believes that magazines are a better medium for Roosevelt’s articles than newspapers, and says that McClure’s Magazine is both worthy and has a large circulation.
