Letter from Alvin Howard Sanders to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Agriculture, Editorials, Ranching, United States--Little Missouri River, United States, West, United States. Tariff Board

Alvin Howard Sanders reintroduces himself to Theodore Roosevelt as a chairman of the U.S. Tariff Board in Washington, and asks as a publisher of The Breeder’s Gazette if Roosevelt would be willing to contribute as a writer in any way. Sanders believes that, given Roosevelt’s past experiences (such as his early days on the Little Missouri river), his writing on the topic of any farm or ranch subject would greatly interest their “western” audiences.
