Theodore Roosevelt would like to see the proof of his article on big game that he co-wrote with George Bird Grinnell. Roosevelt notes that the older he gets the less he cares about the actual killing, but does not want to get too sentimental. Roosevelt requests that Grinnell send him the wolf article, because he may have been confusing the wolf and the coyote.
