Vice President Roosevelt requests the presence of Professor Osborn for lunch on September 15. Roosevelt’s children have been ill and he is unsure if his wife will return from the Adirondacks by then. If Osborn would like to come on the 16th with his boys, Roosevelt could show him the mountain lion and he believes that Mrs. Roosevelt may consent by then to letting Osborn have it for the museum.
