Theodore Roosevelt has received the remains of the Mylodon (an extinct species of ground sloth) and considers them the “most valuable things” in his home. He is especially interested in the skin and hair fragment. Roosevelt fondly recalls spending time with Francisco P. Moreno in Argentina. He hopes Moreno has received his book on the Roosevelt-Rondon Scientific Expedition.
