Theodore Roosevelt tells Charles D. Walcott that he is glad James L. Clark will be working on the taxidermy of some of the groups of specimens he brought back from his African Safari. He asks for clarification about the funding from Congress for the work of mounting the specimens, and about whether Edmund Heller has sent the pamphlets dealing with the giant eland and white rhino yet.
