Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Edmund Heller

Subject(s): Walcott, Charles D. (Charles Doolittle), 1850-1927

Theodore Roosevelt believes that Edmund Heller should go on the hunting trip to northern British East Africa, unless he feels strongly that he should not. (Heller had been reluctant to go because it would delay a report on mammals that he is writing following Roosevelt’s 1909 safari.)
