Ernest Thompson Seton thanks President Roosevelt for his kind letter, which he read aloud to his campers. He says that the campers will show Roosevelt a “sturgeon-match that will excel the wildest foot ball game.” Seton also enclosed a chapter of The Birch Bark Roll previously kept from publication which he thinks may interest Roosevelt.
