Theodore Roosevelt is concerned about some of the specimens from the Roosevelt-Rondon Scientific Exposition which have not arrived at the museum. He is concerned that they might have gone down with the S. S. Vandyck, which was sunk by a German cruiser off the coast of Brazil. Roosevelt requests that Edwin T. Morgan investigate what has happened to the specimens. He is pleased that Morgan translated his Outlook article and will send Morgan a pamphlet of his writings about the ongoing war.
