Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to James Burrill Angell
President Roosevelt asks James Burrill Angell, president of the University of Michigan, if he knows of any chemist who would be willing to work with Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson. Roosevelt does not believe that a practicing physician would be willing to accept the low pay, but perhaps a college professor would be willing to work for the government.
