Arthur B. Farquhar believes Theodore Roosevelt’s interest in rural conditions was one of the greatest works of his administration and should have been endorsed by Congress. The Pennsylvania Rural Uplift Society wants to send a committee to Roosevelt to discuss the matter. Farquhar asks Roosevelt if he is available on December 16. The committee also wants to meet with James J. Hill.
