Theodore Roosevelt is glad to hear from C. B. Howard, but asks Howard to please refrain from quoting him. Roosevelt is concerned that if he allows himself to be quoted on every subject that interests him, his opinions will lose all power to influence. Roosevelt expresses his strong objection to “spring shooting” and hopes that it will be prohibited, but he has not given thought to the question of pump guns and he has not made a study of fish.
