Maud Nathan informs Theodore Roosevelt that he is surprised to see Roosevelt be so unwilling to male a public statement on equal suffrage and recalls a luncheon where Roosevelt was firm on his belief on women’s suffrage. Nathan inquires why Roosevelt did not make recommendations for equal suffrage as Governor to the New York legislature and why he is still unwilling to make a public statement.
