Letter from S. S. McClure to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Feature writing, Periodicals, Publishers and publishing

S. S. McClure is disappointed that he was unable to get Roosevelt’s African articles, but he is pleased, if he could not get them, that they will be published in Scribner’s Magazine. He hopes that Roosevelt will eventually agree to write something for McClure’s Magazine, and that he did not annoy Roosevelt in trying to get the African articles.
