President Roosevelt tells Stewart Edward White that he will be named a special inspector for the California Forest Reserve. He then comments on various hunting adventures. Ted Roosevelt went camping with a friend in the Canadian backwoods and killed a moose with a 56-inch horn spread. President Roosevelt was impressed with White’s description of a hunting trip where 105 pigs were killed in two weeks. He would like White to write a “really first class hunting book.”
