Anna Maynard Butler thanks Theodore Roosevelt for his reply and explains that Andrew Dickson White knows her and that many foundations employ scholars and researchers to write books for them. She was naive to think that Roosevelt’s interest in forest conservation was genuine and intense. Butler clarifies her identity. She hoped Roosevelt would appreciate that any wide-reaching undertaking is more difficult for “a lady-intellectual worker,” especially when money is required.
