Winthrop Chanler is glad President Roosevelt had the opportunity to see John Henry Twachtman’s painting, “Yellowstone Pool.” Chanler describes in detail a humorous fox hunting adventure. He concludes with informing Roosevelt that although Alastair Gordon-Cumming has requested that Chanler recommend him to be chief clerk of the State Department, Chanler has refused as that is not something he regularly does.
