President Roosevelt thanks Stewart Edward White for sending him two books. Roosevelt is particularly excited to read White’s novel Arizona Nights, and compares White’s writing favorably to the author William J. Long, who was embroiled in the “Nature Fakers” controversy. Roosevelt has also requested that White be given permission to watch target practice by the USS Maryland.
