Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Brewster

Subject(s): Academic writing--Evaluation, Adams, Charles Francis, 1835-1915, Biologists, Naturalists, Zoology

Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt informs ornithologist William Brewster that Mr. Faxon disagreed with Roosevelt’s report regarding the use of terms “naturalist” and “biologist.” They will therefore have to put in two reports since Faxon feels the zoological paragraphs were irrelevant. Roosevelt asks Brewster to get the report back if he sees Faxon since Roosevelt wants to send it to Charles Francis Adams.
