Caspar Whitney sends President Roosevelt a copy of the article “Fishing versus Shooting as a Remedy for Brain Fag,” which interviewed several English sportsmen and was published in The Outing Magazine. Whitney thinks doing a similar article in which American sportsmen were interviewed would be interesting, and asks Roosevelt to read the article and send him his thoughts. Whitney has also sent similar requests to several other prominent sportsmen.
