William T. Hornaday is having trouble finding support in Congress for the Game Sanctuary Bill due to a number of legislators who oppose federally established game reserves. Hornaday would like Theodore Roosevelt to write to “as many senators as possible” urging them to support the bill. He also hopes that Roosevelt can write an article, for widespread publication, which is critical of the current system of game preservation.
