Edgar Chambless plans to send copies of his book Roadtown to former members of Commission on Country Life in an effort to solicit their opinions on it, and asks Theodore Roosevelt if he would be willing to write a short message in support of this. While he heard that Roosevelt considers the ideas presented in the work currently impractical, they have been of interest to a number of other prominent people, which Chambless hopes will convince Roosevelt to assist in this way. He particularly references Luther Burbank as “not the type of man who jumps at conclusions or lends his name to impractical schemes.” By providing a message in support of Chambless’s investigations, Roosevelt will help make the ideas a reality.
