Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Philip S. Strout
Theodore Roosevelt wishes that he could accept Philip S. Strout’s invitation to speak, but it is impossible for him to do so. Roosevelt receives thousands of similar invitations but is unable to accept “one in a hundred” of them. Every speaking engagement takes a great toll upon Roosevelt and he cannot accept more without impeding his ability to accomplish other work.
