Reverend Nevin thanks President Roosevelt for the photograph, which resembles his pose in a recent cartoon of Roosevelt. Nevin is on his way to the state of Guerrero in Mexico. Nevin discusses big game hunting, including that of leopards and jaguars. He congratulates Roosevelt on his recent work accomplished. In the post script, Nevin writes that the photograph and letter Roosevelt recently sent disappeared from Nevin’s writing table at the Century Club, likely stolen by an autograph hound.
