Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to James Rudolph Garfield

Theodore Roosevelt pleads with James Rudolph Garfield not to ask him to write a foreword, as it would be pointless to make another statement on the subject. Roosevelt has already written to West and Ernest Thompson Seton about the Boy Scouts, and that statement could still be used if necessary. Roosevelt wants Garfield to join him at Oyster Bay the next time he visits New York so that they can discuss politics, particularly Taft’s “blunders.” Taft’s reliance upon Congress in relation to the matter with Mexico is, Roosevelt feels, a failure of a president’s duty to lead.
