Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to James Keteltas Hackett

President Roosevelt regrets to tell James Keteltas Hackett that he cannot write a telegram to his dinner, because he receives far too many requests like these to fill them all. Hackett is a well-known actor, as was his father James Henry Hackett, and even though Roosevelt regards him as a “the son of a great man, it is not always wise to do what one would have been glad to do for the great man himself.”
