President Roosevelt informs Cecil Andrew Lyon about his travel plans to Texas in the spring of 1905. He hopes he can participate in a jackrabbit, wolf, and coyote hunt, but wants as few people as possible to come along. Roosevelt’s preference is Lyon, W. Sloan Simpson, and him. The president is even desirous to get bear, but cautions he will not be able to come if there is an extra session of Congress.
