Theodore Roosevelt would be glad to have a book made of the Yellowstone sketch. Roosevelt cut the clover quickly and was not thinking about nests until afterward. Roosevelt asks Burroughs if he has Chapman’s book on the warblers. Roosevelt feels that he has become “a little like a nature faker myself.” He is interested in a chipmunk that crosses the tennis court during games.
