Theodore Roosevelt apologizes for unwittingly plagiarizing a phrase from Stewart Edward White’s book The Rediscovered Country in his upcoming article in Scribner’s “The Bird Refuges of Louisiana.” He again expresses admiration for the book, which he had reread. Roosevelt says his old 1905 Springfield rifle is no longer functioning and asks for White’s recommendation on a new one, although Roosevelt doubts he will ever hunt again. Roosevelt mentions receiving letters from men involved in the war, including hunter R. J. Cuninghame.
