President Roosevelt believes that a bear can “kill a full grown bull elk” and that wolves will only attack a moose in large numbers. Roosevelt’s only hunting in recent years has been for mountain lions. He tries to stay active and spent several days chopping, walking, riding, and shooting with the new German Ambassador, Hermann Speck von Sternburg.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry John Elwes

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry John Elwes

Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt sends Henry John Elwes copies of Science with his article on scientific terminology. He will look for the extra copy of the game report during his next visit to Sagamore Hill. Roosevelt feels he did all he could at the New York Police Department, especially since “the law under which we worked was utterly absurd in character.” He believes strongly in the American and British Navies and is glad to do such “thoroughly congenial” work. On a recent trip to his ranch, Roosevelt shot several antelope with his new Winchester rifle.
