William Kent asks Theodore Roosevelt to spend some time with him during his upcoming trip to California. He would like to take Roosevelt and Francis J. Heney riding. Kent adds that “the Tahoe matter” “is “thoroughly stirred up in California,” and that President William H. Taft’s putting the deal through will be a show of bad faith and go against his conservation statements.
