Letter from Millard J. Bloomer to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Fourth of July celebrations, Gaynor, William Jay, -1913, Letters, Speeches, addresses, etc.

Millard J. Bloomer, President of the Harlem Patriotic Society, thanks Theodore Roosevelt for his personal letter explaining why it would be inconsistent for him to write a message to be read at the Fourth of July celebration at Mt. Morris Park. The society has taken Roosevelt’s silence on the matter of being Honorary Vice President as consent, which Bloomer hopes is acceptable to him.
