James R. Garfield urges Theodore Roosevelt to write a foreword for the Boy Scouts’ publication. Garfield goes on to point out how President Taft had surrendered the conservation fight when he appointed Walter L. Fisher as Secretary of the Interior. Garfield also comments how he finds the story of the granting of the terminals at Controller Bay curious, and he discusses a conversation he had with Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson about America’s actions in Mexico.
