Otto H. Kahn sends Theodore Roosevelt a pamphlet for his information. Several newspapers have misquoted or misinterpreted Kahn’s words where he makes reference to Roosevelt, which he wishes to correct by sending the actual document. Kahn states that while he was a friend of Edward Henry Harriman, he never found trouble reconciling this friendship with his admiration for Roosevelt’s policies and administration, and expresses his sadness that Roosevelt took the view of Harriman that he did.
