Theodore Roosevelt writes Thomas Barbour, the curator of reptiles and amphibians at the Museum of Comparative Zoology, to relay Kermit Roosevelt’s address in Brazil. Roosevelt is pleased with Barbour’s collecting trip in East Cuba. He asks Barbour to write John C. Phillips and have him observe “the desert or Isabella chat, and the black and white chat,” as Roosevelt believes the species behavior is due to their coloration. He invites Barbour and his wife to lunch.
