Mark Sullivan asks President Roosevelt if there is any chance he could impose on him for the original draft of Roosevelt’s upcoming speech to the Lincoln Farm Association to give as a Christmas present to Robert J. Collier. Sullivan completely understands if such a thing is impossible, but was trying to think of a gift he could give to Collier that Collier could not simply buy himself.
