William N. Freeman tells Frank Harper he is writing a lecture on “The Romance of American Democracy” he will expand into a book, and while he received Harper’s previous letter inviting him to visit The Outlook office to shake hands with Theodore Roosevelt, Freeman says he will wait to do so until he has his book completed in hand to give to Roosevelt for review. He shares a quote that praises Roosevelt from his lecture.
