President Roosevelt writes to William A. Baillie-Grohman concerning a foreword he had written for the 1904 reprint of Master of Game. Roosevelt is upset by the way Joseph Benson Gilder has proposed to publish his writing as if it had been a special article and not a foreword to the book, and has consequently prohibited its publishing.

William A. Baillie-Grohman heard from Joseph Benson Gilder that President Roosevelt does not want portions of his foreword for Baillie-Grohman’s book Master of Game to appear in American magazines, and he understands Roosevelt’s reasons. As Baillie-Grohman has not heard anything from Roosevelt regarding a correction in the foreword, he has gone ahead and made the changes, as he cannot delay going to press any longer.
