Robert Harry Munro Ferguson thanks Theodore Roosevelt for the rhinoceros bowl he sent, commenting that it was much bigger than either he or Isabella Ferguson expected. He wishes he could come see Roosevelt with Alford Warriner Cooley. Roosevelt’s new series in the Outlook is very interesting, and Ferguson comments that “it’s good sometimes to be on the side lines for judgment of the play,” although he worries that the international situation may devolve without Roosevelt’s influence at the head of the United States. He closes by updating about state and local politics, where there have been many goings-on with debates about statehood and disorder the sheriff had to take care of.
