Theodore Roosevelt writes Thomas Barbour, the curator of reptiles and amphibians at the Museum of Comparative Zoology, to compliment his article and say he will remember that quotation from the Chilean government. He says it is exasperating to have to answer “a poor creature” like Allen who does not know anything about any subject. Roosevelt may be referring to Barbour’s colleague Glover M. Allen.
