Tilghman, William J. (William James), 1835-1919

Willam J. Tilghman has been waiting for Theodore Roosevelt to publish his thoughts on the conservation of human life, a topic Tilghman previously sent Roosevelt clippings about. Tilghman believes Roosevelt is the right man to speak on this subject, because he can “stir the consciousness of the nation.” He relates Roosevelt to Jonathon from the book of Samuel in the Bible.

Tilghman hopes Roosevelt will take up the matter as soon as possible since his voice will do more for the cause than those “from tens of thousand other men.”
