Gilman, Daniel C. (Daniel Coit), 1831-1908

President Roosevelt cannot do as Daniel C. Gilman suggests. Because he receives requests for “many worthy causes,” he must decline them so as not to “hurt the feelings of people in other cases.” However, in securing action by the government authorities and communicating with Lyman Abbott and Congress, Roosevelt argues he has done more to achieve Gilman’s purpose than a mere subscription while not complicating contributions to other causes.
