Sir Horace Curzon Plunkett has enclosed a book of essays that he believes Theodore Roosevelt will enjoy, especially because of his interest in agricultural reform. Plunkett admires Roosevelt’s realization of the important role that women play in rural life. As an Irishman, Plunkett hopes this conversation will be able to hit Ireland soon and appreciates American interest in the movement. He wonders if Roosevelt might discuss the matter in The Outlook.
