My dear Mr. Dodge Cleve:
I thank you heartily for your letter and greatly wish I could attend that dinner. It would give me the utmost pleasure to do so; but it is simply impossible. I rely upon you to make President Wilson and all those who may be present feel how really sorry I am that I cannot be with them.
I hope the dinner may be a complete success.
Faithfully yours,
Theodore Roosevelt
