President Roosevelt tells Frank M. Chapman about a yellow-throated warbler he recently shot, and invites him to come visit next spring when the birds are here. Roosevelt appreciated Chapman’s editorial in Bird Lore regarding the nature fakers controversy and laments that people like The Outlook editor Lyman Abbott are accepting the stories of William J. Long and other fakers.
