Henry Fairfield Osborn just returned from Colorado where he heard the news of the attempted assassination of President McKinley. He was impressed by the “wanton destruction of deer” at the reserve and would like to discuss their protection with Vice President Roosevelt. The museum would like to accept the puma if Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt will consent. Osborn regrets he cannot accept the invitation to Oyster Bay, New York.
