William T. Hornaday thanks Theodore Roosevelt for the letter which was sent to William Beebe. Hornaday believes Beebe is the world’s greatest ornithologist in part because, like Hornaday, he is committed to “making interesting zoological knowledge available to the millions who are interested in birds.” Hornaday would like Roosevelt to attend the opening of the Heads and Horns Collection in the Spring of 1918.
