President Roosevelt tells Caspar Whitney, editor of Outing Magazine, that his name should have been on the “roll of honor,” a mistake Roosevelt plans to rectify in his next volume of speeches and messages. Roosevelt also explains that his statements about naturalist William J. Long appeared in Everybody’s Magazine because the reporter feels as strongly about the material as Roosevelt himself. The president notes that other magazines are “old friends,” but Whitney has no idea of the requests he receives to write articles in magazines.
