Theodore Roosevelt believes he should accept Mayor William Russell Grace’s offer but requests Douglas Robinson’s opinion on the earnestness of the offer and the likelihood of the appointment. Roosevelt is preparing for a hunt in the Rocky Mountains and may need to draw on Robinson to cover expenses as he has not completed some literary projects. He has been on the roundup for five weeks but took some time off for hunting. Roosevelt does not expect to make a great fortune, but is optimistic of his ranching future.
