Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William W. Justice
Theodore Roosevelt wishes that he could accept William W. Justice’s invitation to speak, but it is impossible for him to do so. Roosevelt receives thousands of similar invitations but he is unable to accept “one in a hundred” of them, due to the toll that every speaking engagement takes upon him. To accept more invitations to speak would make it impossible for Roosevelt to accomplish any other work.
