Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Benjamin Ide Wheeler
After thinking about it, Theodore Roosevelt tells Benjamin Ide Wheeler that he does not think it is a good idea for him to address the Commonwealth Club. His speech on public questions should be in a public forum, and it does not make sense for him to repeat it in another setting. Roosevelt believes that with all of his planned speeches, he is saying everything he needs to say and does not want to give any further speeches to various clubs or organizations.
