Letter from Nelson O’Shaughnessy to William Loeb
Neal O’Shaughnessy recalls President Roosevelt’s interest in the Mannlicher-Schonauer rifle with a mounted telescope. He discusses the advantages of telescopes over ordinary firearm sights. O’Shaughnessy plans to send some to the War Department to be mounted on the United States’ new standard-issue military firearm and offers to mount one for Roosevelt if he sends the firearm.
