Miller Freeman writes to Theodore Roosevelt to ask for Roosevelt’s assistance in convincing the federal government to accept a proposal in Seattle to construct a canal in Lake Washington thereby expanding the city’s water front. Freeman adds the federal government has been less receptive to their proposals and big interests have interfered in the past and that he hopes Roosevelt is able to speak on their behalf as they have been trying to construct the canal for many years.
