Jasper L. McBrien wants to start a lyceum bureau that provides the best speakers for the best rates. He lists his credentials as a lecture organizer and asks for Theodore Roosevelt’s rates and availability from September 1, 1911, to September 1, 1912, and beyond. A handwritten post script reminds Roosevelt that McBrien was one of the men who held up his train on the way to the Iowa State Teachers Association.
