J. A. Zahm has been wishing to accept Theodore Roosevelt’s invitation to Oyster Bay since his return from his African safari, but has been occupied with his work on South America. He has recently concluded this work, and hopes to visit Roosevelt soon. Zahm sends Roosevelt his published first book, as well as a proof of the second, and asks if Roosevelt would be willing to write a few lines to be published as an introduction to the second work. Zahm believes that Roosevelt did a great deal towards establishing friendly relations with the nations of South America while president. He hopes that reading his two volumes will revive Roosevelt’s interest in a South American trip.
