Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Herbert Putnam
President Roosevelt informs Librarian of Congress Herbert Putnam that the National Advisory Board for Fuels and Structural Materials is gathering data about the character of coal used by the government and the type of equipment used in government buildings. He instructs Putnam to have the proper representative of the Library of Congress attend an upcoming meeting of the board, some coal operators, and others. The participants are to consider the purchase of coal on a more equitable basis and how to heat government buildings more efficiently.
