Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry S. Pritchett
Theodore Roosevelt writes to educator Henry S. Pritchett that he is glad Pritchett is “on the company.” This letter likely refers to Pritchett’s role as trustee of the Carnegie Foundation. Andrew Carnegie had recently donated $400,000,000 of his own money to his own organization. While it supports the public, Roosevelt still sees the need for government oversight.
