Frederick A. Stokes sends Theodore Roosevelt a proof of the introduction Roosevelt wrote for the book Lassoing Wild Animals in Africa. He asks that Roosevelt return the proof with any desired changes. Stokes recalls some comments Roosevelt made about the hunting trophies in New York’s Harvard Club, and is glad that the letter Roosevelt suggested be written to the club produced a favorable result. In a handwritten note, Stokes asks if Roosevelt has been sent a copy of Admiral Robert E. Peary’s book The North Pole, and offers to send him a copy if he is interested.
