President Roosevelt thanks Frank M. Chapman for the photographs, and thinks that Herbert Lang would be a perfect person to bring on his safari. Unfortunately, Roosevelt is going in service of the Smithsonian Institution, as he promised Charles D. Walcott, and guesses that the American Museum of Natural History would not care to lend Lang to the Smithsonian for this purpose. Roosevelt’s son, Kermit Roosevelt, will come visit soon.
