William Sturgis Bigelow has just sent President Roosevelt a book of animal photography on the “chance of your stocking being still up.” In a postscript, Bigelow mentions press coverage of the Russo-Japanese war, and that Europe has been asking Roosevelt to mediate between the powers, and comments that he feels like the Japanese will end the war themselves soon enough through victory.
