Letter from George Herbert Locke to Theodore Roosevelt
George H. Locke sends President Roosevelt the first copy his firm is issuing of the book Northern Trails by William J. Long. Locke feels sure that Roosevelt will enjoy the book because “it smells of the wood-smoke at twilight and its music is the yelp of the wolf and the konk of the wild goose,” and he knows of Roosevelt’s appreciation for the “western life.” The third page is a list scrawled in Roosevelt’s hand with items seemingly unrelated to Locke’s letter.
