President Roosevelt is very interested in Ernest Harold Baynes’s success in securing the buffalo, but says that he could not write a letter to each of the four people involved, as he would then be obligated “to write to innumerable other people about various matters.” Many people petition Roosevelt about various plans, and if he helped one in particular, he would need to do similarly for each of the others as well.
