Letter from Andrew Carnegie to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Campaign funds, Low, Seth, 1850-1916, Presidents--Nomination, Press and politics

Andrew Carnegie appreciates Theodore Roosevelt’s note and would not have written if he had known the quarrel was political. Carnegie has had to deny reports that he is financially supporting the Roosevelt campaign and saw a similar statement from Seth Low. Each of them prefaced their reply with a statement of their deep regard for Roosevelt.
