Theodore Roosevelt needles William E. Coffin for thinking he would not remember him. He is glad Coffin liked his book and is amused at its effects regarding Coffin’s views of foreign missions. Numerous other demands prevent Roosevelt from attending the Camp Fire Field Day in June. He encloses the requested list of game animals and their values of “honor” and “high honor,” but questions some of his choices.
