Letter from W. P. Chase to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from W. P. Chase to Theodore Roosevelt

W. P. Chase acknowledges he is a stranger to Theodore Roosevelt, but Roosevelt knows some of his relations and this can prove his legitimacy. Chase has become a contracted seller for Arthur W. Arnold’s patented stove damper, which he says regulates combustion on stoves and furnaces to save on fuel usage. He hopes Roosevelt would consider becoming a business partner, and presents this from a philanthropic viewpoint to appeal to Roosevelt’s appreciation for philanthropy, as he claims the damper will benefit the poor the most. Chase hopes to meet Roosevelt in New York.
