Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Alexander Lambert

Subject(s): Antlers, Birdsongs, Grizzly bear, Hunting, Moose, New Mexico, Taxidermy

President Roosevelt will write to his son Theodore Roosevelt about the moose horns, but thinks he will take them without the scalps. Alexander Lambert must have had an interesting time in New Mexico, Roosevelt guesses, even though he did not shoot a grizzly bear. He thinks that the bird Lambert heard was either a rock wren or a canyon wren.
