Lee C. Spooner asks George D. Wardrop if Theodore Roosevelt personally read the article which Spooner previously sent. While Spooner realizes Roosevelt must be overwhelmed with people asking for advice or assistance, he emphasizes that he is not looking for either of these in having sent Roosevelt the article, but merely would like for him to read it and consider the plan he presents. Spooner has sent his article to other prominent men in the hope of having them read it as well.
