Letter from Charles Sumner Bird to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Charles Sumner Bird to Theodore Roosevelt

Charles Sumner Bird thanks Theodore Roosevelt for the letter, and agrees that he wishes Roosevelt could have seen Guy Hamilton Scull before Scull left. He explains that it may not have done any good though, as Bird already tried to have Scull rewrite the articles, but was unsuccessful. Bird is confident that anyone who reads the book will know Scull’s narrative has not been exaggerated.

Marshall Scull. Bird encloses a copy of a letter he wrote to Ernest Thompson Seton and says that he is fond of Jones, and resented what Madison Grant told him, although some other men share Grant’s opinion.
