Letter from Secretary of Theodore Roosevelt to Frederick H. Elliott

Theodore Roosevelt’s secretary writes to Frederick H. Elliott about Roosevelt’s membership in the Touring Club of America. The secretary had been under the impression that the organization was not a commercial organization but “a club of character of the usual New York clubs, where a member is proposed and ascended and balloted upon.” Since the organization is a commercial one, the secretary requests that Roosevelt’s name be removed from the honorary membership list.
