Letter from Arthur G. Pearson to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Dinners and dining, Fund raising, Kansas--Kansas City, Scheduling, YMCA of Greater Kansas City

Arthur G. Pearson, executive Secretary of the Young Men’s Christian Association, informs Theodore Roosevelt that the organization is working to raise money for the construction of a YMCA building in Kansas City, Kansas. He asks if Roosevelt could provide the date he expects to return from the west coast. If it would be possible for Roosevelt to be present in Kansas City at the banquet kicking off this fundraising effort, it would significantly contribute to the success of the campaign.
