Thomas Barbour conveys his satisfaction upon reading Theodore Roosevelt’s “coloration-paper.” He is delayed in reading and remarking on the paper because he has been visiting his family’s park in the Adirondacks. Barbour has great pleasure in remembering time he spent at Oyster Bay. He hopes Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt’s fall is not serious.

Letter from Thomas Barbour to Theodore Roosevelt

Thomas Barbour says he and John C. Phillips are upset by something written by Abbott Handerson Thayer in the October Issue of “The Auk” periodical, although it is amusing since it directly follows Francis H. Allen’s positive review of Roosevelt’s work. He encourages Theodore Roosevelt to read the passage as well. Barbour says he and Thayer may have to respond.
