Theodore Roosevelt writes to Cherry Kearton in order to introduce Edward B. Clark, a newspaper writer and ornithologist, whom Roosevelt calls a “fine fellow.” Roosevelt asks if Kearton might advise Clark on the best places to observe the various birds of England. Roosevelt also asks Kearton to tell his brother, Richard Kearton, how pleased Roosevelt was by his African pictures, which he hopes will be reproduced in book form.
