Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to W. S. Blatchley

Theodore Roosevelt thanks W. S. Blatchley for sending him his recently published book on beetles. While Blatchley is correct that Roosevelt has studied big game more than beetles, Roosevelt jokes that while he was in Africa he saw a beetle that came close to qualifying as big game.
