Theodore Roosevelt will be away the following week, so he chooses June 16 for his meeting with Henry Fairfield Osborn. Roosevelt is sending a corrected copy of his manuscript and wishes Osborn to return the other one. If Osborn is interested in the manuscript, then Roosevelt will illustrate it by drawing specimens from the American Museum of Natural History. Roosevelt asks if Osborn has gotten the white rhinoceros skin and praises William T. Hornaday’s mounted rhinoceros head.
