William Willett previously spoke to Theodore Roosevelt regarding his proposal for daylight saving, but now sends him additional copies of his papers on the topic in case the originals were lost. He calls Roosevelt’s attention to the list of parliamentary representatives in the House of Commons and House of Lords who have already expressed their support for the bill. Willett suggests that the topic is one that will have to be discussed in the United States eventually, and asks for Roosevelt’s views on the topic.
