Letter from John Burroughs to Theodore Roosevelt

President Roosevelt is lucky to have identified the Cape May Warbler as John Burroughs has not seen one. Burroughs is glad that Roosevelt enjoyed his Atlantic article and is sending a copy of his article in the Cosmopolitan. Burroughs advocates doing something about the “unfair advantages” that have benefited Standard Oil.
