Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Herbert Parsons
Theodore Roosevelt declines Herbert Parson’s invitation to speak at Amenia Field Day. Roosevelt explains that he “tried to speak in each state or at least each section of the country [and] tried to cover broadly all the different interests” in his speeches. Roosevelt writes a lengthy explanation because he would like Professor Joel Elias Spingarn to understand why he cannot accept.
