Douglas Robinson is glad to hear that President Roosevelt approves of putting Robert Ferguson in James King Gracie’s place. While Robinson discourages appointing Theodore Roosevelt Jr. at the moment, he wishes to appoint him to a business position in the future. He encloses a letter from Gustav E. Kissel, and plans to send Roosevelt a photograph of his hunting guide, Tazewell Woody. In a postscript, Robinson reports a recent theft.
