Theodore Roosevelt tells Professor Osborn that he is pleased with J. A. Allen’s comments and accepts his list of contents. He wonders whether Osborn’s statement about not being able to make any further corrections also means that the changes he mentioned to Frank M. Chapman last month, particularly the footnotes answering Abbott Handerson Thayer’s Popular Science article, can be adopted. He would be very sorry if the corrections to the galley could not be made and would like to know more. He is also writing to Chapman.
