Ansley Wilcox requests President Roosevelt’s opinion and comments on an article he is writing about Roosevelt’s visit to Buffalo, New York, for the benefit of a teacher’s retirement fund. Wilcox is not sure of some of the little details. He is glad that Roosevelt enjoyed a hunt in Mississippi, but offers condolences that Roosevelt did not get a bear skin. Wilcox’s regular hunts have halted due to rabies in the dogs, although he has had some good hunts in the Genesee Valley.
