Letter from George Bird Grinnell to Theodore Roosevelt

George Bird Grinnell writes to Theodore Roosevelt to propose a new position of Field Assistant Commissioner of Indian Affairs. He believes that such a person, visiting the Indian agencies and making recommendations both to the agents in the field and back to the Indian Bureau in Washington, would improve conditions greatly. He discusses the qualifications of Mr. Mead, who has written a paper on the Mojave Apaches, for such a position.

Letter from George Bird Grinnell to Theodore Roosevelt

George Bird Grinnell writes that Theodore Roosevelt should laugh at the absurd news published about him. A. G. Wallihan will not be publishing his book of photographs with the Boone and Crockett Club at this time. A New York publisher will distribute it on a subscription basis. If they fail to get enough subscriptions to justify publishing it, then Wallihan will come back to the Boone and Crockett Club. Grinnell also asks for Roosevelt’s opinion on the idea that wild animals are dangerous if people live or pass through their areas.
