Letter from John P. Whitman to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Luncheons, Newspapers, Scheduling

John P. Whitman appreciates the interest Theodore Roosevelt has shown in the matter he wrote to him about, but did not wish to imply he wanted Roosevelt’s comment on the paper. He would be glad to accept Roosevelt’s invitation for him and his brother, Russell R. Whitman, to lunch with him in New York. Whitman agrees with Roosevelt’s opinion regarding many of William Randolph Hearst’s papers, and is sure Roosevelt can give valuable advice regarding the New England situation.
