President Roosevelt is pleased about Robert Bridges’ decision. He felt like he should present the issue to Bridges, as William T. Hornaday felt strongly about it, but Roosevelt did not wish to bring an additional person along on his safari, and believes that Kermit Roosevelt and J. Alden Loring will be able to produce satisfactory photographs. Roosevelt encourages Bridges to consider avoiding the inclusion of photographs in the book, and instead having some pictures based on photographs.
