Gifford Pinchot informs President Roosevelt that Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson and Senator Alfred B. Kittredge will meet to discuss the possibility of transferring the forest reserves in the Black Hills to the Department of Agriculture. Kittredge is against the proposal but says he will support the bill if Wilson can convince him it is a good idea. Pinchot heard that Seth Bullock was behind the opposition and suggests to Roosevelt that it may be prudent to write Bullock.
