Winthrop Chanler sends President Roosevelt a new book on “the game critters” in Africa. He jokingly suggests that after Roosevelt is finished with it, he give it to William Jennings Bryan and “advise him to take up shooting off something better than his mouth.” Chanler will be in Washington on Sunday, and would like to see Roosevelt if possible. He tells Roosevelt that he is planning to vote for William H. Taft and Lewis S. Chanler in the upcoming election, but warns him not to let William Randolph Hearst know. Chanler’s family is looking forward to spending the winter in Rome.
