Theodore Roosevelt responds to some of J. D. Haseman’s comments and criticisms of his book. Roosevelt believes that while his book may not have much scientific value, it does have literary value. Roosevelt also refutes Haseman’s claim that piranhas are not real. He does not know if he can help with Haseman’s own book, but if Haseman sends the manuscript, he will read it.
