President Roosevelt sends his greetings to the stockmen of Wyoming and hopes to work with them to solve their problems. Roosevelt notes that “the law gives me no alternative” with regard to removing the fences around grazing lands, but he hopes to protect and promote the establishment of homes on public lands and asks that the members of the convention advise him on the best methods for regulating the use of public lands for grazing purposes.
