Theodore Roosevelt is annoyed at the condition of the rifles sent by the Winchester Company. Roosevelt plans to send them his government rifle, so they can see the stocks and sights he uses. He emphasizes the importance of copying the rear sight and stocks of the government rifle. Roosevelt would also like a “small light pink ivory bead” substituted for the metal bead on the three front sights.
