Henry Wallace sends Theodore Roosevelt a copy of his speech on the Rural Church and a book he wrote twelve years ago about trusts. He enjoyed Roosevelt’s recent article in the Outlook, especially because he was preparing to give a lecture about King Solomon. After a lecture series in February or March, he will visit their mutual friends and plans to see Roosevelt.
