Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry Lee Higginson
President Roosevelt cannot accept the Tavern Club’s invitation, and asks Henry Lee Higginson to tell the people who invited him that he appreciates the courtesy. Roosevelt agrees with what Higginson says about the United States Steel Corporation and the Calumet and Hecla Mining Company, and is immensely interested in what Higginson told him about Agassiz’s action the previous year. Roosevelt thinks that if he writes a letter like Higginson suggested, he will be attacked for trying to give too much advice.
