President Roosevelt tells William Austin Wadsworth that he believes the Boone and Crockett Club is the right kind of organization to undertake the planning of an international hunting exhibition proposed by Austrian Ambassador Ladislaus Hengelmüller von Hengervár in two enclosed letters. Roosevelt believes the United States should be represented by the type of men who belong to the club, and that undertaking such a project would be a good opportunity to justify its existence. Roosevelt suggests a few men to appoint to a committee.
