Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry H. Curran
Theodore Roosevelt writes to Alderman Henry H. Curran to thank him for his invitation, but he regrets that he is unable to accept the offer to speak at the Washington Square Fourth of July celebration. Roosevelt remembers Curran and his political achievements and appreciates the consideration, but notes that he is physically unable to accept the many invitations he receives and wishes his friends could understand his position. He is sorry to decline as he knows the importance of the event.
